Driving Licence Renewal

[Platypus]

Assuming you have a photocard licence, have a look at the date by 4b, which tells you when the photocard (not the licence) expires.

Well well well I didn't know that. Mine expires this year!!

Will I get a reminder in the post?

You should do.

Unless you're a ******* moron, it's reasonably simple to manage.

To be fair - you may be perfectly right is saying the 'license' expires, but in the context of NLUK's post/responses license == right to drive.

I'll let you know how I get on. Then you'll know if I'm a ******* moron or not

But ta muchly for the info

hmmm... inneresting.

Seems like those of us used to the old paper licences aren't up to speed on finer details of these photo ID cards.

You are supposed to get a reminder but I didn't get one.

First I knew about it was when I tried to hire a car a few weeks ago when mine was in for service.

I doubt you did not get a reminder.

Especially if you renewed your passport photo in the last 5 years.

There´s an inneresting point here though;

If your UK passport was issued outside of the UK by an Embassy or Consulate, we will not be able to verify it with the IPS. You must enclose identification document(s) listed in Part B of section 5 on the D1 application form

Now tell me, what kind of pillock would set up a passport verification service that can't verify UK passports issued by British embassies and consulates?

Not from me, sorry.

That sounds a bit worrying. What happens if you are a ******* moron?
