No. The DVLA will contact you 90 days before your 70th birthday. It will send a D46P application, which can be used to renew your licence. You can also use the DVLA’s online system to renew your permit. It’s important you have the correct address on your licence, or you won’t receive the reminder – plus you’ll be risking a fine of up to £1,000.
