Replace damaged driving licence.

Under His Eye

Is it possible to have NDLS replace a licence that is damaged and falling to bits? My dad has 2 years left on his old paper licence that has practically disintegrated.



Or would he have to report it as lost?


Thanks.

That is more confusing as he has C and C1. Does he need the full medical all over again?

Yes. All renewals for Truck/Bus categories require a Medical cert dated within one month of applying.

One thing to note is that he'll only get the C/C1 categories for 5 years (New EU Regs) the rest will be 10 years.

This is not a renewal.

He has 2 clear years left on the licence he has now.

Oh, then he doesn't need a medical as his Licence is currently valid for the next two years.

He only needs to fill in this
