driving licence?

[chaz]

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?

Ruddy hell, how old are you :eek
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 :\

It's only the counter-part paper to the card driving licenses that are being removed. Those who have an existing paper license that pre-dates the card licenses don't need to do anything

i had a paper one till 2007 when it disappeared

got a card one

then found the paper one 18 months later  :rollin

the paper one is invalid if you also have the card version................

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 get a photo one when I hit three score year and ten. I think it was free because it is compulsory to renew your licence when you are old and decrepit. I'm not sure, probably for the same reason  .

I had to renew my card photo licence, I think it was because it was 10 years old it cost £20 plus £5 for a new photo, the one before was when I moved address but I think that was free?

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It's the photograph that goes out of date.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
