Changes to driving medical standards

From 5 October 2024, the medical standards and medical certificate requirements for Jersey driving licences change.

The Parish reserves the right to ask you to re-apply using the new form if your application is not submitted in full, i.e. including medical certificate (if appropriate), photograph etc., by noon on 4 October 2024.

Please note that due to these changes, the Customer Services Department at the Town Hall will close at 4.30pm on Friday 4th October

These changes will make our medical standards and requirements similar to the UK and EU.

There will be changes to:

  • when you need to submit a medical certificate
  • your driving licence validity period
  • the requirements for some medical conditions

We’ll also introduce driving licence groups.

Your parish will be able to ask you to take a practical driving assessment and put conditions on your driving licence.
