Are you a 'high risk offender'?

If you’re a ‘high risk offender’, you will not get your new licence until you can prove you’re fit to drive again. You’ll need to pass a medical examination with one of DVLA’s appointed doctors.

You’re a high risk offender if you:

• were convicted of 2 drink driving offences within 10 years
• were driving with an alcohol reading of at least 87.5 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres (ml) of breath, 200 milligrammes (mg) of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, or 267.5 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of urine
• refused to give the police a sample of breath, blood or urine to test for alcohol
• refused to allow a sample of your blood to be tested for alcohol (for example if it was taken when you were unconscious)

When your conviction came through, DVLA should've sent a letter stating if you were HRO or not, but they're not very good at admin!

DVLA should send you a D27 renewal form:

• 56 days before your disqualification ends
• 90 days before your disqualification ends if you’re a high risk offender

If they don't, you can pick up a D1 form at the Post Office and send it off yourself. The D1 form is the same whether you're HRO or not.
