Title: driving licence?
Post by: chaz on 31 May 2015, 12:31:46 pm: So the paper part of the driving licence will be invalid, I know someone who has still only got a paper licence?

How many on here had or still have a"proper" licence?

I still got my pink paper copy from 1973.
If you have only got a paper licence are they going to make you pay for the card type?

Im pretty sure holders of the old paper licences get to keep them but it's if you are on the new type you relinquish the paper part.....dont quote me on that though :\

Post by: Andy FZS on 31 May 2015, 05:32:11 pm: Only a paper one even though it looks more like lace curtain than paper. I'm in no rush to pay for it to be changed.... now if it was free to renew that's another matter.

I had to renew my card because it had expired to.
It's the photograph that goes out of date.
My new card liecenc has the same photo has my passport.
They are now linked on the government records along with my national insurance number :look
