You’re able to apply up to six months prior to expiry, I recommend you do so. I applied in June when my licence expired in August, and I’m still waiting for my card after my renewal was approved six weeks ago

Sample size of one but I applied to renew a year early because some of my family have had long waits for the renewal and they processed it and sent me a new card last week.
