What is a D1 licence?

A D1 licence allows you to drive vehicles with no more than 16 passenger seats and a trailer up to 750kg.

What does the medical involve?​

The D1 medical examination includes:

  • Eye test
  • Blood pressure check
  • Review of your medical history
  • Questions about medications you take
  • General physical assessment

The doctor then completes the medical form for your licence application.

Where can I find the medical form?

D4 medical forms can be collected from certain Post Office branches that deal with driving licence applications.

Alternatively, you can download the D4 medical form by clicking here.

We can also provide the D4 form for you in clinic – please select this option when booking.

How often do I need a medical?

For most Group 2 licence holders:

  • First medical when applying for the licence

  • Every 5 years after age 45

  • Every year after age 65

What do I need to bring to my appointment?

For all medicals, please bring:

  • Photographic ID
  • Medication list
  • Glasses/contact lenses (and prescription if available)
  • D4/medical form (unless you have opted for forms to be provided in clinic during the booking process)
How long does a medical take?

Each medical usually takes around 15 minutes, but may take longer if you have a complex medical history

What happens after the medical?

After the doctor has completed the D4 medical form, you will need to send it along with the completed licence application (D2) or renewal (D47P) form and driving licence to the DVLA.

The DVLA typically processes each application within 2-3 weeks, although there may be delays if they need to make additional enquiries related to health issues.
