Learners
To renew a learner licence, you have to pass the knowledge test again as well as the eyesight test and pay the normal learner licence fee.

For motorcyclists, the story is similar. You have to go through the same process as you did when you first got your learner licence including rider training (if you live in an area covered by the Motorcycle Rider Training Scheme).

P platers
There isn’t a maximum time period for a driver to move through the licensing scheme. In other words, P platers can progress through the system at their own pace.

If your P1 or P2 licence is due to expire before you’ve moved to the next step in the system, then you can simply renew your licence. The RTA will send you a renewal notice with all the info you need.

Basically, you’ll need to fill in the renewal form that the RTA sends you and go to a motor registry with your licence, proof of identity and the means to pay for a new licence.
