    If you do this, make sure you get it copied by someone who can certify it as a true copy.

    Not worth the hassle.

    It's best to "lose it" and then fortuitously find it in the event of problems with the replacement.

    I've still got my old green paper licence, can't see any reason to change it.
    How about, if you move house? That not a good enough reason?

    To be honest, the fact you have to replace it at all is a bloody scam.

    How about - if you got your house young and have absolutely no intention of moving?

    I still have my paper licence only, and keep meaning to get it changed to a photo card, but it is such a faff.

    The reason why I WILL get it done is that, apart from my passport, it's the only photo proof of identity I'd have. It's a nuisance to have to take my passport when I need to prove identity, which seems to happen a lot these days, whereas a photo licence would be on my person all the time.
