- Glasses prescription – If you use glasses or contact lenses while driving, bring your up-to-date eye prescription (available from your optician).
- Medical test results – Bring any relevant medical test results.
- Current medications – A repeat prescription is ideal.
- ID – Passport or drivers licence, plus any other required IDs.
- Application form – Bring your completed form, supplied by your licensing council.

Important Information for Drivers
Free re-test
Heart conditions – If you’ve had ischaemic heart disease (heart attack, angina, or stent), you will need a cardiologist-supervised treadmill test. This is not included in the standard medical.
Diabetes – Insulin-dependent drivers require annual specialist reviews and daily blood sugar monitoring. Drivers on tablets must also check blood sugar daily.
High blood pressure – If on medication, bring at least three home blood pressure readings taken on different days.
Please note: in the event that you do not pass the medical we cannot refund the cost.
