Hi, you can renew your drivers licence at any period during your currently issued one. This is called an optional renewal, I got mine done a year or so ago due to it's condition, currently costs £20 and will give you a new 10 year licence.
hope this helps.

Thanks Fiona, mine runs out in January, so will be looking to renew early too.

miss_hh

I think I will def be applying for mine now.

Oh many thanks everyone :A Glad to hear it will only cost £20 to renew now, as i thought it would be £50 for a 10 year licence.
