START WITH THE DATE ON YOUR CARD

Works for both two-year and five-year Labourer cards. No card number or personal details needed to calculate.

The calculation stays in this page. Optional analytics count the action, never your card date or name.

Keep the expiry and renewal boundary together.

Your result will show the date on your card and when the normal renewal route changes to an appeal.

This is a date planner. It does not look up or verify a card.

One card. Two dates to keep in view.

A first Labourer card issued from 1 February 2025 lasts two years. Later renewals can run for five years. Use the printed expiry, rather than estimating it from an issue date.

CSCS says a previous Labourer card expired by more than one year needs an appeal with evidence of labouring work. The calculator shows that boundary. It does not calculate an appeal deadline: the cited guidance does not state one.

An expired card stays expired throughout the renewal window. Date calculations do not confirm eligibility, extend validity or guarantee site access. Qualifications, evidence and test requirements still apply. Plan renewal before expiry and confirm your application with CSCS.
