The duration of personal licences was made indefinite with effect from 1 April 2015. Any personal licence issued before this date will show an expiry date, while personal licences issued after this date will not have an expiry date shown on the licence.
If this expiry date shown on the licence is before 1 April 2015 the personal licence has lapsed and you will need to apply for a new licence. If it shows an expiry date on or after 1 April 2015 then the expiry date no longer applies.
