I have attempted to update my phone license, but it kept failing.
My details don't match. My driving licence does not include my middle name. But my passport does.
Do I just apply for a new license, my license is clean.

Go to one of the post offices where you can renew.
No need for passport. They take DL details, new photo while you are there & send it off. Should get it back within a week. This even worked during covid lockdowns.

In my region those 'participating' Post Offices are 14 miles away and it's not always the easier option.

Recently i've had to renew my photo license and did it by standard post as i don't have a passport to participate in the immediate Post Office method.
Collect the relevant form from the P O, obtain a photo booth picture, send a cheque (or money order) and send it off - it's returned within a couple of weeks.
