A paper driving licence holder will automatically be sent a D46P application form 90 days before their 70th birthday from the DVLA so maybe it got lost in the post so contact DVLA for a new one, no medical is required.
The following link provides info from DVLA about license renewel for 70+ http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/NeedANewOrUpdatedLicence/DG_4022086

The licensing office would mail his renewal to his last known address on record. If he moved and failed to notify the agency of his new address, that's his fault. Also, the individual is always the responsible one when it comes to renewals/getting tabs etc. You are expected to know by looking at your license when it will expire. Since it has been some months ago, I think they will make him test again. If it had only been a month, they probably would let it slide, but too much time has passed. A driving test may be required as well, depends on the state he lives in.

below regular situations your licence expires once you attain 70. in case you have a photograph card licence the photograph could desire to be renewed each 10 years (there'll be an expiry date below it) in case you have a scientific concern the licence could expire quicker. in case you have a photograph licence the expiry date for each type is on the decrease back. unusual because it variety of feels you may desire to bypass your try at 17 and then no longer get at the back of the wheel of a automobile until eventually you're sixty 9 years 364days previous and nevertheless be qualified to force. frightening ain't it?

Very likely he will be required to re take both written and driving tests. I honestly think the State purposely doesn't send the renewals (leaving it up to the 70 + seniors to have a keen mind and know that it is time to go pay the renewal. I think the State is trying to weed out the old timers. Just my opinion.

My uncles licence expired when he was 58. He only discovered this on his 59th birthday. He has just sat his theory test and will have to sit his practical again to renew his licence. If he know earlier he would have been ok.

Unless your state has a manditory re-test of eyes or skills once a certain age is reached or with an expiration; in which case it might not be. Check the DMV website for your state

in most states if it expires you need to retake the test. check with the dmv in your state theyll know for sure.if it was in fact their mistake they may renew it automatically. good luck!

If he didn't notice that he had reached 70, perhaps he shouldn't be driving.
