Does an expired driving licence authorize its holder to drive?
Driver requirements
Explanation
An **expired driving license** does not authorize its holder to drive. This is because the driving license is a **document that certifies that a person is authorized to drive** and meets the necessary requirements to do so. When the license is expired, it no longer fulfills this function.
- It is important to **renew the driving license before it expires**. For those under 65 years of age, renewal must be done every 10 years, and for those over 65 years of age, every 5 years. If the license expires, the holder is no longer authorized to drive until it is renewed.
- Additionally, if the license is lost, stolen, or there is a change in personal data, such as the address, it is also necessary to request a new license.
Therefore, an expired license is not valid for driving, as it does not guarantee that the driver meets the necessary requirements.
