Renewing driving license photo

Still on the old-style paper one - another good reason not to move house!! It is looking a bit dog-eared and of course the speeding points from 7 years ago are still in evidence although expunged!

I tried that for my previous passport anno - went straight from the hairdresser to have the pictures taken.

The stylist must have been a bit mean with the mousse, as my bouncy, layered, newsreader-style bob turned into a flattened pudding-basin look in the photo!

I always make sure I have my photo done for official purposes after I have been to the hairdresser and have fresh lipstick on! Call me vain, but I need all the help I can get.

I've recently updated my photo licence.

If you have a UK Passport that is less than five years old you can renew online without sending a photo; they use your passport picture.

Only trouble is my passport pic is truly atrocious and I now have the same thing on my driving licence

As it happens I have just received notification that I've got to renew my licence because I'm coming up to 70.

Eeek!

My present one doesn't have a photo on it.

My photo has expired but I find I am given until I have to renew again in September, when I will be 73 before I have to provide a new photo.
I had no idea that the photocard expires in ten years.
I will swap my UK licence for a French licence which has no age limit.

Thanks both!

No, no medical, but in any case they will contact you when the time comes for renewal - at 70. I'm up for my second renewal in November. Getting soooo old!

shy I think the paper license lasts till you are 70 but if you have a photo license it has to renewed every 10 years. Not sure about the medical sorry.
