Extension for Driving License Renewals in Cyprus
March 13, 2026
Cypriots continue to be last-minute citizens, as evidenced by the nearly 100,000 driving licenses renewed in the last few days before the deadline. The Parliament decided to give citizens a second chance by allowing the renewal of driving licenses until March 31, 2026, without any penalties. This extension will have retrospective effect, and those who paid penalties after March 11 will receive a refund. Renewals are increasing every year, with 780,395 renewals for 2026 so far. The Road Transport Department reminds citizens to notify if they do not intend to renew their license for 2026.
