I've still got my provisional - with no photo and the wrong address on, but it's valid until 2022!!!!

May have to get it updated if I decide to learn to drive :-|

I had to swap my green one in for a pink one when we moved to this house about 27 years ago.

It is a wee bit tatty but,touch wood, it still has no points on it. M

I still have a green one. It works and I have never been relieved of my licence so have never had a new one.

As many as 2 million drivers could face £1,000 fines for failing to update the photo on their driving licence, according to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
The photo on your driving licence needs to be updated every 10 years - and failing to do so would invalidate your licence and could leave you with a £1,000 fine if pulled over by the police.

But as many as 2 million have not updated their photo, leaving them vulnerable to a nasty surprise if stopped with an invalid driving licence.

The DVLA says it sends reminders out two months before a renewal is due.

A spokesperson for the authority says: "Appearances can change and it is important that photo card licences are updated every 10 years to ensure the police and other enforcement agencies have the best possible photograph to help them correctly identify whether a driving licence is being used fraudulently.

"This helps prevent driving licence impersonation – stopping disqualified and perhaps dangerous drivers taking to our roads."
