Epilepsy and driving
Epilepsy is a condition that you need to tell the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) about. Find out which questionnaire you need to complete for the driving licence you hold.
Car or motorcycle driving licence holders
If you have had an epileptic attack within the last year DVLA recommends that you surrender your driving licence. You will be able to re-apply for your driving licence once you have been free of attacks for a year. For further advice on surrendering your driving licence please see the link below.
If you do not wish to surrender or your epileptic attack was more than a year ago you will need to tell DVLA.
To tell DVLA please download the medical questionnaire ‘FEP1’ and send it to DVLA.
