Gov UK Advice

Other documents you will need include your V5C and photo Driving Licence. Check the Gov UK site for requirements.

Driving Licence

Make sure your UK driving licence is up-to-date.  Under covid regulations renewal dates for some licences have been extended automatically for 11 months. But if you intend to drive abroad this extension is not valid there and you will need to apply for a new licence
