paper driving license

[gelfy666]

I passed my driving test 25yrs ago and I've still got my pink paper licence.
Ive recently moved so I need to change my address on my licence, so do I just fill in the change of address on the back of the licence or do I now have to have a card one?
DVLA website didn't help me much.

Its a cost to change..but my mrs paid the 21 quid but the dvla refunded..so it may be free

i still have my paper one too...

Paper licence has gone, leaving you with a card one.

Paper licences have been abolished. You'll be getting a card version.

Hmmm, that's a little different to the info I read recently that said if you've got paper counterpart to keep it and only to change to photocard only when you need to make a change...

 

[gelfy666]

Do I have to fill in something different then as they'll need a photo of me etc?

Still legal if you haven't had occasion to change it though. I've still got the old pink and green paper one.

You can't get a replacement paper licence though.

No. Hopefully won't need to change it for any reason and may not need a car by the time I would have to renew it. Lol.

I'm sure there'll be a form at the post office. You can get the photo at bigger POs. be warned once the dvla have added your picture you will look like a serial killer or a simpleton or a serial killing simpleton

God knows how I would manage to get a new one. I don't have any of the forms of identification???

It was only people with a photocard who had a counterpart. People without a photocard have a paper licence.

Yes, and?

So long as you inform them of the change and keep a record with the license then you can retain the old one

I still have a green one, and that is what I have done

It may change with the new regs

I've still got the little red book licence and the green paper one.

So all the links referring to counterparts don't apply to people with a paper licence.

uh huh....
