Medical
conditions or disabilities DVLA need to know about and how
to tell them
You
must tell the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
if you have ever had, or currently suffer from a medical
condition or disability that may affect your driving.
You
must also provide details of a medical condition or
disability that has become worse since your licence
was issued or you develop a new medical condition or
disability, as it may affect your fitness to drive.
Failure to do so is a criminal offence and is punishable
by a fine of up to £1000.
Full
details of all medical conditions and disabilities and
the medical questionnaires you may require, depending
upon which type of vehicle driving licence you are applying
for or currently hold, can be found from one of the
two links below.
How
to tell DVLA about a medical condition if you
are applying for your first driving licence
All
driving licence application forms contain
a series of health questions and you must
declare if you suffer from a notifiable medical
condition or disability. You may also wish
to download and complete the appropriate medical
questionnaire(s)and enclose them with your
application. This will help to speed up the
processing of your driving licence when the
documents are received at DVLA. Send your
completed application to the helpful contacts
address below together with your medical questionnaire.

How
to tell DVLA about a medical condition if you currently hold
a driving licence
If
you are the holder of a current driving licence and have a
notifiable medical condition or disability, you must tell
the DVLA right away. You should not wait until your licence
is due for renewal. You can do this by downloading the appropriate
medical questionnaire. The completed questionnaire can then
be sent to DVLA by post, fax or as an attachment to an email.
If
you choose to email the questionnaire you should note that
this is not a secure means of communication and that DVLA
accepts no responsibility for handling your email until after
it is received. You can post, fax and email your documents
to the following address and numbers below:
You
can also notify DVLA of a medical condition by telephone.
Please remember to quote your full name, date of birth and
or driver number (if known). You must also give details of
your specific medical condition or disability in order that
you can be sent the appropriate medical questionnaire.
Telephone:
0870 600 0301 (Monday to Friday, 8.00 am to 5.30 pm).
Fax:
0845 850 0095

a medical short period licence, then you only need send
