Expiry of international driving license due to covid 19

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency did not have the information requested.

Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,
This is a general question regarding international driving license.

People, how are driving on their international driving license and due to covid 19 for whole of the year, they wont get time and opportunity to clear their GB driving test.

I myself passed my theory and my driving test is cancelled and rebooked by DVSA on March 03, 2021. My 12months for international driving license is going to expire on 13-12-2020.

For these type of situations, what steps have been takne by DVLA or are there any relaxation for the lot whose license are going to expire in coming days?

Yours faithfully,

A Ali

Dear Mr Ali,

Thank you for your enquiry received on 10/11/2020.
Your case reference number is 03344716.

I appreciate you contacting DVLA to seek clarification on the matter.

As a visitor you may drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and with up to 8
passenger seats, provided your full licence remains valid for up to 12
months from the date of entering GB.

You must apply for a provisional driving licence and pass a GB driving
test before the 12 months is up, otherwise you must stop driving.

I am sorry there no in provisions in place for non-exchangeable licences
to be extended beyond the 12 months from the date of entering GB.

you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear A Ali,

Thank you for your enquiry received on 10/11/2020.
Your case reference number is 03344716.

We appreciate that you have taken the time to get back in contact
regarding your enquiry.

I'm afraid there isn't an extension in place to allow you to drive on the
Indian licence once the 12 months is up from when you became a resident
here.

In order to drive after the 12 months are up you would need to have taken
and passed the theory and practical driving tests.

I'm sorry I have not been able to provide a more favourable response. If
you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear Ali,

Thank you for your enquiry received on 10/11/2020.
Your case reference number is 03344716.

Thank you for getting back in contact with us. 

I'm sorry to hear about your cancelled tests.

You may drive any category of small vehicle shown on your licence for up
to 12 months from the time you become resident. 

After the 12 month period has passed you must stop driving on the strength
of your foreign licence. 

Unfortunately there are no extensions available at this time. 

Once your 12 month period has come to an end you can only drive based on
the strength of your provisional GB licence. 

I'm sorry I have not been able to provide a more favourable response.

Dear Ali,

Thank you for your enquiry received on 10/11/2020.
Your case reference number is 03344716.

Thank you for your enquiry today.

I understand how important it is that you are able to continue driving. 

If you passed your driving test in a Non-EU country you can drive all the
vehicles shown on your driving licence for up to 12 months from when you
became resident in GB (as long as the driving licence remains valid).

I'm afraid there has been no extension granted to any licences issued
outside the EU even if you obtain a full licence after this year has
expired.

You will have no legal entitlement to drive in GB after the 12 months and
you must stop driving immediately once this 12-month allocation has
expired.

In summary you cannot drive on the new Indian licence, you must pass both
parts of your test here in the UK to continue to drive.

Thank you.

Dear Ali,

Thank you for your enquiry received on 10/11/2020.

I appreciate your concern regarding this matter.

You can drive on a full valid licence up to 12 months from the date of

I am sorry but we do not deal with International Driving Permits, you
would need to contact the Post Office regarding this.

There is no relaxation of the rules in relation to the time between you
being able to drive in the UK on your Indian licence, if there has been a
change in your practical car test, you may wish to discuss with the DVSA. 

I'm sorry, we don't manage driving or theory tests at DVLA, you'll need to
contact DVSA (the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency).
 
Their telephone number is: 0300 200 1122
 
Their webpage is: [1]https://www.gov.uk
