stevewool Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Having just got my British passport for another 10 years what other things do i need to have once i leave these shores for a new life, and how do you get them. Do other members renew there passport or driving license from there birthplace or where ever or is it a case you may never need them again so why bother. As a HGV driver i have to replace my license plus ADR license and drivers card and most will be running out very soon, as some of these cards will incur a cost to renew so do i bother with these as i am hoping i will never need them again, but the driving license i will need that.

Snowy79 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I renewed my UK licence but had to use a UK address. Once you have been out of the UK a few years you wont be able to renew without re taking your test unless you accidentally use a UK address and forget you've been out the ciuntry. Usually you need to renew only when less than one year to go on it to get a new 10 yr licence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy has answered the Uk bit although I should say the problem will come if you need a medical at some stage ( at 70 you will for the 3 year extension. As to using your existing License, (Many do and push their luck on the law ) you can only use it for 90 days and then convert to a PI one as I said many push luck to beyond the bounds but the LTO and PNP are getting wise and may ask to see your Passport which will show your last entry date, For me just not worth the Hassle.
