Scott Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Might be a bit of confustion as you get a paper counter part with your card licence wheres all the old licences used to be papaer with no card I only have the paper part. I got my license before the cards were even optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The photocard isn't the license, it's always the paper part. The card is just proof of having a license As I don't have a card the only proof I have of having a license is the license itself Might be a bit of confustion as you get a paper counter part with your card licence wheres all the old licences used to be papaer with no card I'm confused. Going to sit in a dark room now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Is it not law to have the photo id now? If you get a license now you automatically get the card. If you make any changes to your license you automatically get the card now (before it was optional). I've never had any notification to tell me that I need a card and I can't remember anything to tell me otherwise so I would say no, but I don't know for certain. If it is the law they have done a god awful job of letting people know.... but again that wouldn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The old paper-only licence is valid until age 70. If you have to apply for a replacement licence for any reason (like change of address) you are issued with a photocard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 My Daughter's boyfriend got into all sorts of trouble a few couple of years ago and I cant recall the exact circumstances but basically he was unable to prove he had ever had a licence or had past his test. He tried to say it was a DVLA error and not his responsibility to prove he did have one previously, DVLA refused to provide this proof and he argued the case until it went to court. The court took a dim (like him really) view and said as he was unable to produce proof he had held a licence, in their view he didnt have one and he got fined and was forced to re-apply and re-take his test.
