What is a DVLA D4 medical?

A D4 form is a medical examination required by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) for HGV, PSV, and taxi driver licence applications and renewals. It confirms you meet the DVLA medical standards for heavy goods vehicle drivers.

How much does a DVLA medical cost?

DVLA medical examinations £100 for initial assessment. HGV/LGV medicals typically cost £100 depending on complexity. Taxi medical certificates £100. We also offer speed service for urgent appointments.

How long does the DVLA medical take?

The examination typically takes 30-45 minutes. Results are available immediately, and we can submit the form to the DVLA electronically the same day.

What does the medical assessment cover?

The assessment includes vision testing, blood pressure check, review of medical history, discussion of any medications, and general fitness evaluation. The DVLA has specific standards that must be met for HGV and taxi drivers.

Can I drive while waiting for DVLA medical results?

Once we submit your completed medical form to the DVLA, you will typically receive notification within 4 weeks. During this time, check the DVLA website for the status of your licence renewal.
