Drivers License

Hey I got my drivers license in 2004, how long should it last for? I think it expires in 2012? How do I renew it and do you need a new photo etc?

    It lasts until your 70, But the photo needs to be renewed every 10 years.

    10 years from when you 1st applied not 10 years from passing your test.

    Just stick a new photo on it. No need to send it in or notify DVLA.

    Seriously, how did you manage to apply in the first place - did someone have to give you step-by-step instructions? Have you tried google or the DVLA website? Or even your local PO?

    I have no idea i have a proper paper licence.

    Who would want to look at a photo of me that could be upto 10 years old?

    Photo varies daily depending on what i use to hold my wrinkles, Duck tape or staples.

    You dont see the celebrities mention those do you, Shhhh trade secret :)

    Okay, start with trying to spell licence correctly.

    Then you can move on to using an apostrophe, to show ownership.

    When you've passed those two steps, you can try your hand at wise cracks.
