Your Driving Licence Explained: Codes, Photo Renewal and Keeping Your Details Up to Date

Wishlist Share

About Course

Your photocard driving licence carries codes, dates and details that matter. Learn what common codes such as 01 (glasses) and 78 (automatic only) mean, when the photo needs renewing, why telling the DVLA about a change of address is free but important, and how this fits with renewing at 70.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course is a general refresher for experienced drivers based on official guidance. It is not a substitute for the Highway Code, your vehicle handbook or professional driver training.
