Off the top of my head it's the D47p form to reapply for your HGV, you will need to get a medical and send that off also, the medical form D4 should be available from the post office but one of our guys just got his from DVLA when he sent his license off for a change of address. They retained his license and sent him the medical forms.

If your still serving it'll cost you nothing if you require the license for your trade.

Hope this helps.

How to renew your entitlement

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will send you, 56 days before the expiry of your driving entitlement, a D47P ‘application for renewal of lorry and bus entitlement’ and a D4 ‘medical examination report’.

Photocard driving licence holder

You’ll need to:

complete the D47P form
ask a doctor to complete the D4 form - the doctor will normally charge you for completing the report and those registered for VAT are also required to charge an additional 15 per cent on top of their fee
send the completed forms to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1BR
A message on your D47P form will tell you if your photo is due for renewal, in which case you’ll need to include a new passport type photo and the fee of £20.00. You only need to provide the fee if your photo needs renewing.

If your name has changed you’ll also need to send (along with the above):

a completed D2 ‘application for a large goods vehicle (LGV) or passenger carrying vehicle (PCV) driving licence’ available from the DVLA form ordering service
original documentation confirming your change of name

Search the forum on google. The form includes useful guidance notes and information including where to send the form.
