I just read an article about how the first issued photo licences are due to expire and it will cost each driver £17.50 for a new one or face a fine of £1000. My license expires in a couple of years but i didn't realise this until i read this - http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/12092008/36/drivers-face-fines-expired-licences-0.html

I had a look on DVLA site last night and you theres still a section to get replacement paper licences'. I still on my paper licence.

Yes, because you still have to have a paper suppliment even with a photocard licence. If you apply for a replacement, you'll not get a replacement original. You'll get a replacement suppliment and you'll be asked to apply for a photocard licence.

Yep, 'fraid so. Just filled mine out yesterday. It's a PITA as well, because it's not just the £17.50: there's another £4.50 for the passport photos if you haven't got any recent ones handy. Not much on its own, but it all adds up, along with everything else at the moment.

I thought you hadto have both...but hey I'm female so dont know,lol. Mines valid to 2014, got a great pic of me on it to, be gutted when have to change it,lol...and my bloody passport expired so gotta just another one of them soon:rant: bloody £72 it was £25 or something for my first one:headvswal
