A further extension to the validity of driving licences is currently being considered. However, it is not possible to extend an individual licence.

All enquires relating to individual applications for driving licences are handled by the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS), provided by the Road Safety Authority (RSA). My Department does not have access to such applications.
