Renewing a Cypriot Driving Licence

Understand how to renew a driving licence after the age of 70...

Driving licences can be renewed at the Department of Road Transport or Citizen Service Centers. Documents required:

• Driving licence application form TOM 7D
• Identification card
• Previous driver's licence.

Staff now take the driver's photo onsite when processing the application. For more information and to download forms visit the Department of Transport website In Cyprus the initial period of validity of categories AM, A1, A2, A, B, B1, B+E has changed from the 70th birthday of the holder to 15 years from the date of issue. After reaching the age of 55 years, if the driving license holder falls into one of these categories, the licence will be renewed, valid until age 70 years. The initial period of validity of categories C, C+E, C1, C1+E, D, D+E, D1, D1+E has changed from the 70th birthday of the holder to 5 years from the date of issue. Existing Cyprus full paper licences are valid until their expiry date, except those that expire beyond 2033. These are only valid until 19 January 2033, no matter what the expiry date is on the licence. If the holder wishes to add another category to their paper licence or it is lost, destroyed or for other reason needs to be replaced or renewed, it will be issued under the new arrangements. The earliest a driving licence can be renewed is within the last month before its expiry.
