Do you have a link to that information pls?
EDIT:- I found it. ( I think
https://cyprusdriving.net/driving-licen ... rs-of-age/
The information in this page refers to FULL non-vocational driving licences.
The earliest a driving licence renewal application can be made is within the last month before the expiry of the old licence
Rang the CAC this morning and was told my wife [over 70 ] could renew her licence 2 months before the old one expires .Rang back later and spoke to some one different to conform and was told ; yes this is correct ; lefkes.
I was under the impression that after being here for six months everyone needed to get a Cypriot licence.jeba wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 4:50 pm The validity of my German driver license will expire (I think) next year due to some EU regulation. In Germany (where driver licenses are valid until you kick the bucket) that would mean I´ll still be allowed to drive, but have no proof of that. In practical terms this means in case I´ll get caught I´d only have to pay a small fee (like when you forgot your license at home) but my insurance cover wouldn´t end. Will this be the same if I get caught in Cyprus?
I think that rather than asking the question on a Forum and relying on an answer from a member, you should ask at the District Offices of the Department of Transport..jeba wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 4:50 pm The validity of my German driver license will expire (I think) next year due to some EU regulation.

That would come with the risk of that I don´t like the answer. Which would make it more difficult to ignore it.trevnhil wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 5:40 pmI think that rather than asking the question on a Forum and relying on an answer from a member, you should ask at the District Offices of the Department of Transport..jeba wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 4:50 pm The validity of my German driver license will expire (I think) next year due to some EU regulation.

Not true for EU citizens. But I couldn´t renew it in Germany without being registered as resident there. Which I could do, but it would be a hassle.WHL wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 5:26 pmI was under the impression that after being here for six months everyone needed to get a Cypriot licence.jeba wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 4:50 pm The validity of my German driver license will expire (I think) next year due to some EU regulation.

There is only one legal answer, it is then everyone's choice if they then ignore it or not.jeba wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 8:52 amThat would come with the risk of that I don´t like the answer.

There is a simple reason: German driver licenses don´t expire until the holder dies and by default there are no tests required, medical or otherwise, to keep them alive until your death, even if you pass the 100-year mark (except licenses for trucks, buses etc). They aren´t valid in all other countries though, but only within the EU. Outside the EU you need an international driving license which will be issued even to non-residents by the authority which issued the national license and which has to be renewed every 3 years (which in the case of the authority which issued mine can be done via mail).
