Due to the continued Covid-19 situation, with effect from 6 March 2021 driver CPC cards will be further extended by EU Regulation. This means that driver CPC cards that expired or will expire between 1 September 2020 and 30 June 2021 will be extended by 10 months.

In addition, driver CPC cards that expired during the initial period 1 February 2020 and 31 August 2020 (which were extended for 7 months) and will fall to expire again during the period 1September 2020 and 31 March 2021 will be extended again for 6 months or until 1 July 2021 whichever is the latest.

For example:

• A driver with a CPC card that expired between 1 February 2020 and 31 May 2020 who has not already renewed their card will now have a new expiry date of 1 July 2021.

• A driver with a CPC card that expired between 1 June 2020 and 31 August 2020 who has not already renewed their card will be extended by 13 months (which includes the previous extension)

Example 1. Driver with a card that expired on 1 June 2020 will be extended until 1 July 2021;

Example 2. Driver with a card which expired 31 August 2020 will be extended until 30 September 2021.
