Trailer licence.

tobeme2020

I'm hoping to get my trailer licence added to my drivers license when I hopefully do my test next year. I've 1 year left on my license before renewal. If I pass does my licence get renewed for another 10 years or does it get added for 1 year then have to renew again when it's up for renewal.

1 year. You can only renew your licence when you have less than 3 months left.

Yes, additional categories subsequently added to a licence require renewal when the existing category requires renewal.

Pass the test and get the E added when you renew next year.

Not much use if they need to tow something before they renew.

It was 5 years ago when i added the trailer category to my license when i passed the test.
My license had 5 or 6 years left on it .
The license that i got was a new 10 year license.

Everything already on your license gets renewed for another 10 years, except for C or D categories when you need to get a medical for renewal in those categories every 5 years.
