Exchanging paper licence for photo

Krakkkers

Just filling out the D1 form to exchange my 30 year old paper licence with a new photo licence and need help on one of the questions.
I am also changing my address and this is a free service but changing a paper licence for a photo one is £20, i am doing both of these?
Should i just send them the £20 and they can either cash it or not?

Also only 2 ways to pay, cheque or postal order.
Who has a cheque book?

It says change of address on paper licence is free, but they will only then re issue a photo licence so i assume that means no charge?

I do. Post £20 to me and I'll write a cheque for you?

Copied from DVLA site concerning changing paper licence to photo card......DVLA will aim to send your driving licence within 3 weeks. It may take longer if your medical or personal details need to be checked.

You’ll need to:

• have your driving licence
• be a resident of Great Britain
• meet the minimum eyesight requirement
• not be prevented from driving for any reason
• pay £20 by MasterCard, Visa, Electron or Delta debit or credit card
• have a valid UK passport or another form of identity
• have your National Insurance number (if you know it)
• provide addresses of where you have lived for the last 3 years

Don't have a passport so can't do it digitally.

Most people have one somewhere. You won't believe how much a Postal Order costs!

(12.5% of the value, so that is £2.50 on top of the £20)

Good reason to have a cheque book.

It seems it might be free because i am exchanging a paper licence for a photo one although a fee is payable if you want to change address ( which i do) do i pay or not? will the post office know?
