The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has further extended the period for renewing out-of-date driving licences to help ease a backlog of work.
Drivers whose licence expires between 1 February and 31 December 2020 will automatically receive a 11-month extension.
Drivers affected by the temporary extension do not need to apply to renew their licence until they receive a reminder which will be issued before the extension expires.
The same extension applies to drivers aged 70 and over who need to renew their entitlement to drive, usually renewed every three years.
