Reinstate HGV licence

If someone renewed their whole driving licence, all category’s, but didn’t renew Lorry’s and bus but those category’s haven’t expired as in don’t need a medical for them yet, how easy is it to get another licence with those category’s reinstated on it?

Just send a new form and explain it was an oversight on your part. They normally respond. It does happen

Did they renew a photocard licence ? - if yes then that is a bit odd
I hope they scanned it before sending…

Why wouldn’t any one renew all categories if there was nothing more than a tick required to do it, seems a strange question.

I don’t think it was intentional

On the bit of the form where you Tick the boxes to say if you want to renew with or without are the top 2 boxes to renew with and the bottom 2 boxes to renew without or the other way round? He tells me he can’t remember whether he did it the right way round :unamused:

If they have been removed he will have to get another form off the DVLA to reapply for the entitlements.
I removed the hgv entitlement off my licence last year, after an online licence check showed that my licence had expired, i needed a medical to renew it, I filled in the D4 to remove it and received new licence with hgv removed.
About 6 weeks later I took a medical and sent that off with the form and they sent new licence back with hgv back on, I did it that way as I also needed a medical for my taxi licence so delayed the truck medical until the taxi one was needed,

So it’s just a case of fill out the form and sending it again then. Nothing more complicated than that

It should be, but it is the DVLA, I think expired/removed vocational entitlements will take a while to drop off the system.
A phone call or email to them would confirm the situation for you, I contacted them myself before removing the expired entitlement.
You would need to speak to them to get a new D4 sent out, they will tell you what you need to know.
