DVLA – Drivers Medical Enquiries

If you have a question to ask, you may find the answer more quickly by browsing the DVLA health pages in the motoring section. You can find information about health conditions relevant to driving, how to surrender your licence if your doctor has advised you to stop driving, how to renew, and advice on re-applying after surrender.

If you think you may need to tell DVLA about a health condition, use the health conditions A to Z.

For information on surrendering or renewing your driving licence, see the 'Your health and driving' section.
