The quickest and easiest way to renew a driving licence at 70 is to use the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)’s online service at www.gov.uk/renew-driving-licence-at-70.

Drivers who have made an application to renew their driving licence may be able to continue to drive while their application is being processed, provided they meet certain criteria.
