2 year temporary driving licence is about to expire/time to renew to 5 years validity. I heard that by doing it after my birthday(instead of before) will give me almost 6 years? Can someone confirm true or not?

Your expiration date becomes your birthday so doing it after your birthday your start date starts on your next birthday my birthday is the 27th renewed mine on the 29th got 2 days short of 6 yrs

How long can you let your 1st 2 year DL expire? 

Expire date and Birthdate differs 3 months.

1 year, according to the motor office. However, I am not sure the insurance will cover in that period. **

 

I have sort of the opposite problem. Last year I got a two year license because I was on a tourist visa. Now I am on a proper visa and should be able to get a five year licence - but how long before the expiration date can I apply for a new licence? I still got +1 year on the licence.

 

** Sorry, didn't realize that you asked about the 1st 2 year licence. My answer is for a 5 year licence. I am not sure it is the same for a 2 year licence.

2 & 5 year have the same expiry rules, renewal 3 months before and one year after expiration.

True. My wife recently renewed her licenses after her birthday and she got almost 6 years validity. 

 

Update:

A friend of mine, renewed his license yesterday a couple of days after his birthday, and his new license is valid until his Birthday in 2030. So indeed almost 6 years

Yes. I did that a few years ago.
