Might be worth noting to tell people that you can now check your driving license online.
https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence
You can check endorsements, restrictions, etc
ALL YOU NEED IS YOUR DRIVING LICENCE NUMBER NATIONAL INSURANCE NUMBER AND POST CODE
Find out which vehicles you can drive, penalty points and when your licence expires.

I really need to change the address on my license I've moved 5 times and I'm still on my 18 year old paper license!

I only realised the other day my licence had expired 2yrs ago, I new there was an expiry date on it but thought it was a much longer period than 10 yrs.
It is printed clearly on the license but it had never entered my head to check until one of my mates mentioned it.
Possible £1000 fine if you get rumbled by the police aswell, I think that's the case for wrong address to.....
Mine is also out of date. I recently updated my passport, so it should have been a breeze to update the driving licence online. But... the .gov site didn't like me. I really need to do it.
geko and livestowers
you both need to sort it as you said £1000 fine
post office for the form if online no like you
If you look at the post office website, certain larger post offices are able to take your picture and digitize your signature and electronically send that to DVLA for £4.50 - I did it last Saturday and got my new license Thursday of this week.
I did mine about 6 weeks ago. . . . .worst picture of me ever, And I've taken some horrors!!Quote:

Loads of our drivers in work have been caught out by their licences expiring. We've had the police turn up a few times and interview them. I don't think anyone from our place has had a fine yet though.
I don't think they use an existing photo unless maybe replacing a lost Licence which is still in force. It's a shame they don't allow us to use our webcams and approved software though. .Quote:

if you use the passport picture that they have on file, your photocard licence will only be valid for the remaining life of your passport.
ie, if your passport was renewed 5 years ago and you do your license renewal online using the passport details, your license photo will only be valid for 5 years - whereas if you do it with a new photo it will be valid for the full 10 years
