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). |

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

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

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

You would have to be stopped for something else before they wanted to have a look at your licence. |

My passport still has 3 years to go - and I look NOTHING like my photo! |

My husband nearly got caught out last year. Luckily our daughter was on the ball and realised that she had had hers for ten years around that time and told her Dad which made him check his. I think a lot of people think they are valid almost forever like the old paper ones were. M |

British driving licence doesn't have to be renewed? |

I think it was Sir Ernest Shackleton who said that, if you resemble your passport photograph then you are not well enough to travel. |

The first time they issued licences (here in NZ) with photos on, I am sure they squashed my photo. My head looked shorter and wider. |

Just done mine, they sent me a renewal invitation form. Had to do it as we changed address anyway. |

Apparently DVLC is going to write to all the people with the old green style licence and make them change to a photo one. Not sure when this is happening. I'm sure its just to get more money out of us. |

I had to renew mine last year and did it online. I didn't have to send a new photo. As I had a current passport I just had to give them the number and somehow they electronically transferred my passport photo to my new driving licence. So now I look an old hag on both! |
