When to Report to the DVLA

You should report someone if you believe:

They have a medical condition that affects their ability to drive safely.

They refuse to stop driving despite medical advice.

Their condition has worsened and they haven’t informed the DVLA.

When reporting, try to include:

The driver’s full name and address

Their date of birth or driving licence number (if known)

Details of the medical condition or concern

Any supporting evidence (e.g. incidents, witness accounts)

There are two main ways:

1. Online

2. By Post

The DVLA will not confirm the outcome of your report due to data protection laws.

Reports should be made in good faith and with genuine concern for public safety.

If the concern is about dangerous driving (not medical), it should be reported to the police via 101 or online.

You must tell DVLA if you have a driving licence and:

you develop a ‘notifiable’ medical condition or disability

a condition or disability has got worse since you got your licence

Notifiable conditions are anything that could affect your ability to drive safely. They can include:

heart conditions (including atrial fibrillation and pacemakers)
