Keeping old drivers licence when renewing at post office?
My drivers licence is currently my only form of valid ID and I would struggle without it for 3 weeks. Would the post office allow me to keep hold of it until I receive my new one?
On my reminder letter it does say to take my driving licence or tell them why it can't be provided. If they can't let you keep it, would I still be able to renew it at the post office if I were to say I lost it?

Take it to a solicitors and ask them to do a certified copy for you. Costs £5.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

A certified copy proves that the original was valid when certified.
Not the next day, or the day after.0 -

Take a photocopy of the licence which you should be able to get by with in the interim.0
