The Government has approved a one-month extension for driving licenses set to expire between November 25 and December 24, 2025, under the Motor Vehicles (Temporary Extension of Validity of Driving Licenses) regulation.
Cabinet Spokesman and Minister Nalinda Jayatissa said the move follows Regulations No. 04 of 2025, published in Extraordinary Gazette Notification No. 2467/52 on December 17, 2025.
The extension comes after severe weather in November 2025, which disrupted daily life and delayed license renewals. Technical issues in the Department of Motor Traffic’s computer system also caused delays in processing renewals during this period.
The one-month extension is calculated from the original expiry date, giving the public additional time to renew their licenses without penalty.The Government has approved a one-month extension for driving licenses set to expire between November 25 and December 24, 2025, under the Motor Vehicles (Temporary Extension of Validity of Driving Licenses) regulation.
