You can be fined up to £1,000 if you do not tell DVLA about a medical condition that affects your driving.

You must give up your licence if any of the following are true:

• Your doctor tells you to stop driving for 3 months or more

• You do not meet the required standards for driving because of your medical condition

Check if your condition needs to be reported

• Use the online service to check if your condition needs to be reported
• Check the A to Z list for your condition

You’ll then be told how to report your condition – this will either be in the online service or by printing off and sending a paper form.
