Has anyone tried to renew their driving licence at 70 years old? We have the eye test certificate and medical certificate.  Dreading the department of transport because of its chaos.

I renewed mine at the Citizens office in the town. No issues although don't recall if I had appointment. I would turn up and wing it. Worst scenario they make appointment. I do recall it was very efficient.

Citizens office?  That would make life easier. I find the dept of transport difficult.

Have done it twice. Dont know the area you live in. I live in the Famagusta area near Paralimni. First time went to the Doctor and got the letter stamped (painless). To a cerfified Optician by appointment.

Handed both docs plus the application to Citizena Advice and thet did the rest and collected the new licence a month later. Citizens give you a temp licence to drive on.

as i said dont know the area you live in and understand if it is Paphos it is a ANOTHER WORLD
