DVLA asking me to surrender license

Thanks all, I'll just renew it. Good that it will use the PP photo as saves faffing around trying to make a compliant pic.

Seems like the most sensible solution 👍🏻

Just renew it, it has more uses than just being able to drive.

Nowadays if you can't prove who you are with Government Issued Photo ID (passport/driving licence) you can't even collect an order from screwfix or renew your library card.

Mmmm, have never been asked for photo ID at screw fix

Nor I at Screwfix .

Nor do I need photo ID to join my local library, let alone renew any card they supply.  (Driving licence is one of ten possible documents they'll accept as proof name/address;  they accept more than those 10 as well!).

I'd advise the OP to get a couple of professional refresher lessons before venturing out on the roads as a driver in the future.  Lots have changed in 9 years and will continue to do so.

Will be handy for voting in the upcoming local elections, as you'll need photo ID to vote.

I use this on a regular basis when producing technicians ID cards

Mine didn't ask for ID last time, I get the impression they'd have given my tap inserts to anyone who asked for them
