Driving Licence ID docs

I was impressed how easy the process was when I applied for my new driving licence at the end of May before my 70th birthday.
Applying online was easy, sending details of my passport, so even the photo on that was used. It arrived in about a week.
I was sad to surrender my ancient paper licence though!

I did mine all online, didn't send any documents at all and received new licence in the post in about a week.

When I was coming up to 70th, it was difficult as I still have my old paper licence no photo ID or passport so had get my photo witnessed and signed also had to put in various paper work. If you were including birth cert according the notes that came with the form that is not enough to prove who you are so I enclosed my marriage cert also to be on the safe side I put in my letter from DWP which has my NI certificate, its all in section 5 of the notes what you need to enclosed.

Thank you - I've argued myself in circles, so wanted so confirmation!

You say your name is the same as that on your driving licence, so no need to provide extra documents - that’s only needed if your name isn’t the same as on the driving licence.
