⏳ How Long Does a Personal Licence Last?

The great news is — Personal Licences no longer expire.
They are now valid indefinitely in England and Wales.

📜 A Quick History:

Personal Licences used to be issued with a 10-year expiry date, and many people still hold licences that display one.

If your licence shows an expiry date — don’t worry.
That date can be ignored, and you do not need to renew your licence.

✅ Do You Need to Take Action?

No – you're legally covered even if your licence shows an old expiry date.
However, if you'd like your Personal Licence reissued without the expiry date, your local council can provide a new copy.

💷 Fee: Usually around £10.50 (set by the council)

📝 Summary:

• ✔️ Modern Personal Licences last indefinitely

• ❌ No renewal needed, even if your licence shows an expiry date

• 💳 You can request a reissued version without an expiry date for a small admin fee
