The card renewal should take place at least 15 working days before the card expires. If the driver card has already expired when the application is submitted, an initial order will be placed.

The validity of the renewed driver card immediately follows the expiry date of the old card.

The expired driver card must be carried for 28 days in addition to the new card.
