Thanks for this Keith !
A further warning. It's quite common for the DVLA to miss off some entitlements when you renew it. This often happens with motorcycle entitlements. So take a photo of the photocard before you send it off, otherwise proving they made a mistake is very hard.
Allow me to nip this in the bud. I can not show you for the web is censored to hell and even word algorithms wont find the site. A Man posted his letter from his local MP on driving licenses. Now it did not show the letter sent but i clearly can remember. It said "Thank you for your letter. I can confirm there is no legal requirement for a drivers license in the United Kingdom. NOW just ask your MP "is there is a legal requirement for a Drivers License with in the UK? And if so what date did this take effect and where can i find it. Then tell the DVLA PRIVATE CORPORATION YOU HAVE AN INHERITED ENGLISH RIGHT TO "TRAVEL WHICH STILL EXISTS TODAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE NATION MADE IT CLEAR WE DO NOT WANT TO ABANDON OUR CONSTITUTIONAL SHIP FOR A FOREIGN VESSEL (EU) AND AS SUCH HAVE NOT ABANDONED SAID SHIP AND WILL BE ENJOYING THE FRUITS OF THE ENGLISH FREEDOMS PROTECTED UNDER ENGLISH LAWS AND CUSTOMS!
Why have they done this? What does the government or DVLA gain from it?
Akin to sending the kids to school and then moving without telling them! Typical government modus operandi SNAFU.
To make it even better, the writing on the front telling you when your licence runs out is so tiny you need a magnifying glass to read it. To quote the Germans from Fawlty Towers: "However did they win?"
Yeah, I think it’s to do with your photograph 10 years New photograph obviously you get older, you change every 10 years
Also note that at renewal aged 70 if you want more than a basic car and motorbike license your need to get a medical and submit it in paper form for renewal. On line will only give you the basics.
You failed to say why it runs out. It’s simply that your photo needs updating, not much point having a photo that’s of someone at 20 when they are now 65, so needs updating every 10 years so that it still resembles the person it belongs to.
It's only been this way since 1999.
Just another cash cow for DVLA….Renewed mine 5 weeks ago I did receive a reminder or I would have been illegal too
I got caught by this last year. My van that I use for work every day had an engine failure. No van equals no income so the next day I set about hiring one quickly. Only to discover that I couldn’t because my license had expired. I run my business from my house, so when post comes in each day then I sort it into work or home stuff. So I look at my post closely and I can one hundred percent say that I never got a reminder letter either. But let’s be honest that’s not really a surprise. The DVLA is known to be a total shambles.
Beware !
It was well publicised at the introduction of the photocard license that they will need renewing at a cost every ten years. I needed to renew my license due to moving home very shortly after they were introduced and at the time (it was £10) I said to people it will be a lot more by the time we need to renew it and it was just a stealth tax but I was told I was being stupid.
When the new photo licences were introduced in 1999, the DVLA tried to con everyone in to exchanging the old paper licence even if you didn't need to. What they deliberately didn't overly publicize at the time was the 10 year expiry of the photo and the ongoing renewal cost every 10 years. I held on to my paper licence which is still valid for another 20 years. No change of address and no driving offences ever, so they won't be getting hold of my money until I'm 70. However, I just read that if I make it to 70 without needing to exchange then it's allegedly a free exchange at that point.
Morning thanks for the info👍 Just a point on your background turn your steering lock around so that the end points into the windscreen corner this is much more secure👌
Nice one great information. I’ve still got my paper one what is left of it 👍🏻
This just makes me even more determined to keep my original paper license for another 4 years…until I’m 70! 🙃
Thanks for this Keith. I was like you, on the back mine runs out ‘27 but on the front ‘24. I’ve now added to my diary just in case I don’t get a reminder.
Thank goodness someone posted this on Facebook as I had no idea. Thankfully I’ve got 2 years left but at least I’m aware. Thank you
