There's no issue with the paper licence, I for one will miss it when it goes. It's like an old friend:rotfl: plus you don't need to renew a photo every 10 years.

I use my passport photo which is linked to the DVLA so the photo gets renewed that way as the passport needs to be renewed every ten years anyway.

Nothing wrong with having a photo card license.

Except you have to go through the hastle of getting & sending a photo and paying licence fee

My driving Licence expires in 2024 (aged 70) I only have a paper one, when I renew it will I get a Paper Driving Licence back or will I have to suffer having a photocard licence.

How will this suffering manifest itself? Physical pain, or just mental anguish?

But you've all the time in the world to queue up in the post office.

I do not have a valid driving licence.

But now I'm getting both thanks to the adverts often posted here on MSE

In that case, look on the bright side. Next time someone asks you for photo ID to prove who you are, you will have a handy card with your name and photograph on.

A friend of mine was denied car rental at San Francisco airport because he had a paper licence; even though it was valid, there was no photograph on it which seemed to be unacceptable.
