Renewing driving licence at 70 years old

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.

Renewal or exchange?

@Neptune3

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

Renewal

@Neptune3

My wife did hers last year and used the citizens service centre. Compared to the Department of Transport it was painless.

Did you get the forms first  and where from or did CSC supply them

Did you need to make an appointment with them and how

@MacGeorge8035

We went to citizens advisory service. Wow, it is so efficient. If only the tax office  located next door could be even half as good.

I went into the CSC and got the

doctors form

Application form

Notes for guidance


And the number and web page for booking an appointment..


A very nice polite man assisted ...great service

Anyone know how far in advance I can apply before my 70th birthday

@phildraper

When you book online you choose your appointment date and time and the current calendar goes to at least January..you can also call their number 80002000


The forms are in Greek .

Toon is that on line with the citizens center at this URL

Option is Issuance of Driving License?

Yes

All read up on cylogin required for all digital services in future - currently all post boxes have to renewed and completed with this new system - pretty easy to navigate and you create a profile and then get identity certified by your bank or citizen advice centre


google cylogin

@Neptune3

No need to be concerned. I did mine and perfectly straightforward. Just ensure you make an appointment. Not happy with their camera though. I look like an old codger 😉
