You can print the form on line. Or just fill one in in the reception area at the Girne Office behind the state hospital. Best to go early to get your ticket number.
I did my renewal on Monday this week the wait was approx 1 hour. Take the required payment it will tell you on line. Mine was 575 tl for 3 years.
Take the form , the payment, your old licence your passport and passport copy.
Very helpful guy on desk 1. You will be given a document in case you need to produce in the meantime. He said approx 1 month foe replacement.

Do you need any passport sized photos?

Be sure to take Driving Licence sized photographs - which are different from Passport ones (even though the reverse of the form mentioned above does say Passport photographs).
We nearly didn’t get our renewal after going through the queueing lottery game with raffle tickets, but the very kind lady took our PP ones because (a) she’s nice and (b) two old folks can really look pitiful if we try!

Agree Mowgli597. Walking stick is a good prop a well. Certainly stops the traffic when crossing the busy road outside the Kaymakamlik (spelling)

No.
Driving licence sized photo required - not passport size. See above.

I just took the normal ones I keep for all I.D. inc. residency . They didn't say it wasn't suitable. I did not know there was a difference ?

DL photos are a little smaller - I can’t tell the difference myself and just cut the white border off the normal ones I get from Yulcel, never had a problem.

Likewise we had normal passport size ones and they were accepted without an issue.

Well we nearly didn’t get ours as noted above. They seem to require either head and upper body or no upper body - can’t remember which. So I guess it depends on your original pp photo.
The person dealing with us had a “template” cutout in which your picture had to fit.
But, as always here, it depends on with whom you are dealing.
In other words: your mileage may vary!

..............................and what side of the bed they got out that morning!
I always find a nice bright smile and cheery greeting produces the better results though.

And a pitiful look, nearly bursting into tears, and that all important walking stick!!

Questions: Is the driving licence issued now the new or the old version? Do you have to pay cash or can you pay by card? Many thanks.

How does the new card differ from the one I've had 4 years and due for another next year.?

Collected ours this morning (well, collected one - the other was mangled when the man put it in the ancient machine to trim the edges. Had to go back to collect a replacement this afternoon).
Still the same format as the old ones.

So what's all the fuss all about new licences then? Anyone know if they will want more or different information.

Crikey, first time I've seen one. Its not really a driving licence at all is it? Its more of an Identity Card and its pricey.
