How you actually get reminded

This site will never contact you. There's no account and no server, so there's nothing here that can send you an email, a text or a notification. Worth being straight about that, because a date sitting on this page looks reassuring and on its own it does nothing at all.

What does work is the Remind me button. Tap it and it downloads a small calendar file. Open it and your phone puts the renewal in your own calendar, and from then on your phone does the nagging, not us. That's why the button is highlighted until you've used it.

Each reminder fires twice:

• 60 days before — the one that matters. If you need a medical or a new DBS, this is when to start. A DBS can take weeks, some councils take a month to process an application, and a few won't even look at your medical until everything else is in.
• 14 days before — the last call, for anything you've left.

Add a reminder for anything that would stop you working. A lapsed badge, plate or DBS check takes you off the road, and no council is obliged to warn you first.

Where this data lives

Everything you enter is saved only in this browser (localStorage) — nothing is sent to a server, there's no account, and no one else can see it. That also means it won't follow you to a different phone or browser automatically, and clearing your browsing data will wipe it. The calendar reminder is the part that survives all that, which is the other reason to tap the button rather than rely on this list.
