What you need when applying online

To renew the photo on your driving licence online you need to:

• have a valid UK passport issued within the last five years
• be a resident of Great Britain
• pay £20.00 by MasterCard, Visa, Electron, Maestro or Delta debit or credit card
• not currently be prevented from driving for any reason
• provide addresses of where you have lived over the last three years
• have your driving licence (if you do not have your driving licence you must indicate why as part of your application)

If your name has changed you will not be able to apply online. To apply to change your name you can use the reminder sent to you if it is in your possession. If not you must apply by post using a D1 application form. For more information on how to change the name on your driving licence please use the link below.
