3. My vehicle licence is about to expire - how much time do I have to renew it?

If your vehicle licence is not renewed within 15 days after the expiry date, the law prevents you from driving it on the road.

However, you have up to 3 months after the expiry date to pay the renewal fees without the requirement for the vehicle to be inspected. The renewal period will be calculated from the previous expiry date where the fees are paid within this 3 month period.

Vehicle licence fees that have not been paid within 3 months of expiry will not be renewed and will require an inspection to facilitate a new licence being issued.

Please note that if you do not renew your vehicle licence within 3 months of expiry, you will be required to return the number plates to avoid a penalty being issued.
