    Not if you have a fairly recent passport photo, the DVLA will use that.
    If there’s no changes they renew it with the current details including the photo.  I did mine last year, it took about 3 days to get back.  I know many 70+ people who’ve had the same positive experience

    My photo was last updated in 2015. My licence updates in 2020 and and a few weeks ago (both online) used the photo from 2015. I don't have a passport. What will happen in 2025 I don't know as the expiry on my latest licence is 2026 and no mention of when the photo expires in 2025.
