B Registering your licence The law requires all those who live in GB who drive buses – from 9 passenger seats – and vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes – to be registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). You are required by law to do this within 12 months of you taking up residence. Drivers who exchange their licence in GB are automatically registered. If your licence is lost or stolen, you would probably not be able to get a duplicate of your licence from the country it was issued in. However you will be able to apply for a GB licence from DVLA. Note: As a result of a change in legislation from April 2009, European Community (EC) or European Economic Area (EEA) licence holders will no longer be required to possess a GB counterpart to take advantage of the fixed penalty system. How to register Please fill in this form and send it, together with all parts of your national driving licence, to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1BH. If you are an EC/EEA licence holder you will be issued with a GB counterpart licence document. C Driving licence rules in GB As the holder of a licence issued by another EU member state or one issued in Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway (see note D), provided your licence remains valid, you can drive in GB until age 70 or for three years after becoming resident whichever is the longer period. Expired licences are acceptable to exchange for a GB licence. The rules for holding a GB driving licence are almost certainly different from those in the country in which your licence was issued. The rules in GB for medical, driving conduct, road safety and driving licence renewal are those which you must observe if you live here. Bus/Lorry drivers When you are 45 years old and over, you will have to renew your licence every five years – 65 year olds have to renew annually – subject to passing a medical examination by your doctor. Once your EC/EEA licence expires or you reach the above age limits you must apply to DVLA for a GB licence. D Relevant countries You can register with us if your EU licence was obtained by exchanging a licence from one of the countries listed below. If your EU licence was obtained by exchanging from a country not listed below you will not be able to register. However, you will still be able to drive in the UK on your licence for up to a year, after which time you will have to apply for a GB licence. These are the relevant countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
