DVLA and rules on Licence upgrade

[Kiki1]

According to this section of the site

 

https://www.gov.uk/become-lorry-bus-driver/licence-validity-and-renewals

 

Drivers over 45 will continue to renew their entitlement as they do now.

When you renew your licence at the end of a 5-year period, you’ll need to provide a medical examination report.

 

 

therefore, a 47 year old that has had the C/C1 class entitlement installed automatically on their paper licence when they passed their test in the mid 80s, will now need to upgrade in the same manner as before, which is - do nothing.

 

However, will/does this situation change if the licence is upgraded to a photo type one based on the following link ?

For C, (and C+E, D & D+E), they currently have to renew their licence every 5 years with a medical examination report.

 

No change for C1, C1+E, D1 or D1+E.
