With effect from 1 Feb 2024, the Private Driving Instructor (PDI) licence renewal application will be available online. This is part of the Police’s digitalisation efforts to enhance public service delivery. Prior to the roll-out, the PDIs have been engaged by the Traffic Police (TP) on the new application process.

PDIs who wish to renew their licences can now do so online by submitting their applications at https://go.gov.sg/pdirenewal. SMS reminders will be sent to PDIs to submit their renewal application during the renewal application period. Please refer to the table below for the renewal application period.

The processing time will take about two weeks. For successful applications, the digital PDI licence will be emailed to the PDI. PDIs should print out the PDI licence for display in the vehicle. Please refer to Annex A for the flowchart of the application process.
With the roll-out of online application for PDI licence renewal, physical application via walk-ins will be discontinued on the same day, i.e. 1 Feb 2024.
