Driving and medical issues

Before you contact DVLA, read about:

• which medical conditions you must tell DVLA about
• what happens after you’ve told DVLA about your medical condition
• how to disagree with DVLA’s decision about your medical condition
• how to reapply for a driving licence following a medical condition
• how to surrender your driving licence because of a medical condition

If you tell DVLA about a medical condition, your application will usually take 6 weeks. It may take longer if it needs to be referred to a doctor.
