bens747 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Bet it will be the same for ID cards when and if they come in. Just another way of bending you over and shafting you where it hurts ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have an old paper one...... no photocard for me.... no renewal fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 My mum has a paper licence, but as my dad is a HGV driver, he has to have his licence renewed every 5 years... So now he has a photocard licence, which will need renewing too! Gutting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've had a new card through the post because you've changed address etc it's not the same as renewing - it's just an altered version of your original licence, so will expire on the same date.
