View the video by clicking below

A license issued for driving a non- transport vehicle will be valid till the date of completion of 50 years of age of the license holder. A license to drive a transport vehicle will be valid for a period of 3 years only. After the expiry of the validity of a license it can be renewed for further periods, if required by the license holder. A license for a non- transport vehicle will be renewed for the next 5 years and a license for a transport vehicle will be renewed for next three years if the application for the same Is submitted by the license holder.

But if the application for renewal of driving license is made 30 days after the expiry of the license, then the license will be renewed only with effect from the date of submission of the application, thereby causing a break in the validity of the license.

One important thing to take not in this regard is that, renewal driving license will not be allowed after 5 years of expiry of the validity of the driving license. In such a case the license holder has to apply afresh for fresh license and the renewal will be allowed without conducting a driving test.

In the case of renewal application of a license for transport vehicles or for persons who are more than 50 years of age a medical certificate in form 1 A is to be submitted in addition to the self declaration of medical fitness in form 1.
