A driving licence may be renewed for up to ten years after the date on which it has expired.
An applicant in the circumstances described by the Deputy would therefore be able to apply to renew their driving licence in the normal way. As with all applications from persons aged 70 and over, the application would have to be accompanied by an eyesight report and a medical fitness report.
