FAQs
1. Are drivers over 70 years of age required to provide an additional document when renewing licences?
Yes, drivers over 70 years of age are required to provide a medical certificate from a doctor when renewing their licences. The certificate should state that the holder of the drivers’ licence is fit to drive and must also bear a doctor’s stamp.
Drivers in this category can now renew their driver’s licence online at ezpay.gov.bb.
2. When is the payment due to renew my drivers license?
Payment is due on the birth date of the license holder but can be paid at any time during that month.
If possible, license holders should try to pay and renew their driver’s licences before the final working day of the month as this is when taxpayer lines tend to be heaviest.
For persons renewing for the first time after receiving their licences, prices will vary. This is simply because those licences have to be adjusted to the taxpayer’s birth month.
