Second Chance for Cypriots to Renew Driving Licenses at the Last Minute

Cypriot citizens appear to be leaving the renewal of driving licenses to the last minute, as approximately 100,000 licenses were renewed in the last few days before the deadline. The increased traffic on the website of the Department of Road Transport caused problems. Parliament passed legislation granting an extension for renewing licenses until March 31, 2026, without surcharge, and a refund to those who paid a late fee. The extension was granted due to the citizens' last-minute behavior in renewing their licenses.
