If you are awaiting your driving licence renewal and have sent off your application to DVLA but have not had a response from them, to continue driving legally under Section 88, you must meet all of the following criteria:

Has your doctor told you that you are fit to drive?(Required)

Your doctor must have told you that you are fit to drive. If your doctor is unsure about how a medical condition affects driving, they should refer to the ‘Assessing fitness to drive – a guide for medical professionals'.

Yes

If you have a medical condition requiring further information or examination, has your doctor told you that you are unfit to drive?(Required)

If you are currently applying to renew your driving licence and have a medical condition, the guidance issued on 8/02/2021 states that providing you have a current driving licence and you have not been told by your doctor or optician that you should not drive, you will be able to drive while DVLA is considering your application and waiting for a response from NHS professionals. You must still meet the other criteria under Section 88 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.

Yes

We recommend you seek a doctor’s letter to confirm this if possible although the wording of this criteria suggests a verbal reassurance will be fine.

Have you held a valid driving licence and only drive vehicles you have applied for on your current application and were entitled to drive on your previous licence?(Required)

This licence can be a full GB licence, a GB provisional licence, a European Community licence, a Northern Ireland licence, a British external/British Forces licence or an exchangeable licence.
If you have a foreign licence, the DVLA has this handy tool to help you to check if you need to exchange it for a UK licence.

Yes

Do you hold a Group 2 (bus or lorry) licence where your entitlement has NOT been suspended, revoked or refused by a traffic commissioner.(Required)

Yes

No, my entitlement was suspended, revoked or refused by a traffic commissioner

I do NOT hold a Group 2 (bus or lorry) licence

Do you meet any conditions that were specified on your previous licence that still apply?(Required)

Yes

Have the DVLA received your correct and complete application within the last 12 months?(Required)

Yes

Has your last licence been revoked or refused for medical reasons?(Required)

Yes

Are you currently disqualified from driving by a court?(Required)

Yes

Were you disqualified from driving as a high risk offender on or after 1 June 2013?(Required)

A high risk offender is a driver convicted of a serious drink driving offence.

Yes
