Renewing provisional license

Hi @EngineerMe ,

I've never let my driving licence expire..
So guessing.
The way I see it You are within the 10 year? period with the photo ID (no need regarding having to update that.) & you have your expired licence with the number for DVLA's reference. It should still be on their records.... (Though expired.)
You haven't been denied a new licence on medical grounds. Just let the application for renewal slip.
So at a guess it's just a question of renewing your provisional licence to make it valid.. & filling in the medical questionare..

But I could be wrong? & you may need a fresh aplication & medical form. But it makes sense to me that your unique licence number & entitlements (or non entitlements?) should still be on record...

If you are concerned about not having an age ID regarding purchases of "age restricted" products during the reapplication process? (alcohol.)
All I know is regarding renewal I've never needed to send my old licence back.

I have let my UK licence expire when I turned 70, this was when it was due for renewal. Could not be bothered with it anymore, as I can drive on my Qld. licence if I ever go back to the UK for a visit.

so I've filled new versions of the D1 and DIAB1 instead.

That's all you need to do.

I'm also not sure whether I need to send my current (expired) photocard back with these forms. I'd rather not be without my ID for a month or so!

I recently renewed my licence and didn't send my old licence back, if they want it they'll request it.

Wishing you the best of luck!
