My driving licence expires when I am 69 years and 6 months

Must I pay for a replacement licence when my current licence expires  6 months before my 70th birthday - especially as I can replace my licence up to 90 days before my 70th birthday?

Do you mean your photocard expires 6mo before your 70th?

That's different to your actual entitlement to drive expiring.

But, no, I wouldn't be rushing to replace the photocard... I'd wait that three months.
