Driving licence fees
There are different fees if you want to renew, exchange or amend your driving licence - or get a duplicate if yours has been lost, stolen or damaged.
Getting a first GB driving licence
Replacing a driving licence
This will cost £20. You must replace your licence if it’s been lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed.
Changing the name or address on your driving licence
There’s no charge for this service. If you’re a photocard licence holder and want to change your photo at the same time,
your licence will be renewed, with a £20 fee.
Renewing a driving licence
Photocard licences are only valid for up to 10 years, although you’re normally entitled to drive until your 70th birthday.
You must renew your photo every 10 years - you’ll receive a reminder to do this before your current licence ends.
