Renewal of International Licences

Your previous medical examination is valid for 12 months and can be used to renew your licence, provided that your application is received and processed before the 12-month validity period expires. The expiry of the 12-month validity period must be beyond 1st January 2020.

But National license medicals only last 3 months.
Is National racing more detrimental to your health then?

You’re interpreting it wrong. Read 10.1.1. “The licence must be issued within 3 months of the date of the medical.” That’s not the length of time the medical is valid for. In other words, you can have your medical up to 3 months before applying for a licence. The length of time the medical is then valid for varies according to age. (Also in 10.1.1)

International licence holders have to have a med every year, and it’s valid for 12 months. BUT, if you had a med in Jan this year, and apply for next years licence now, it is still valid, as it’s less than 12 months from issue. So you can get two seasons from one med if you play the system....
