Driving licence renewal: what is the age limit and what changes after 50, 70 and 80 years old?
Validity of a Category B License
For all drivers:
• Renewal is required every 15 years, regardless of age.
Shorter validity periods may apply only if a doctor places medical restrictions on your ability to drive. In those cases, the license might need to be renewed more frequently, but this depends on individual health conditions rather than age alone.
Is a Medical Exam Required?

For most people renewing a standard Category B license, a medical examination is not required.
However, a medical check may be necessary if:
- A medical restriction has already been placed on your license
- You hold a professional driving license that requires health verification
- When a medical exam is required, it typically evaluates vision, hearing, coordination, and overall ability to drive safely.
