Replacement photocard license 10 years (lost counterpart)

[kawakid]

Okay, so I have lost my counterpart (think I took it to Cyprus when I was going to hire a car.).

Anyway I need to renew my license as it is a photo card and I have had it 10 years.

I have seen the form for a replacement counterpart which costs £20.

But, they are making the counterpart obsolete from June.

Would I be okay (if I don't get stopped), not bothering to replace the license until then. (3 months???)

£20 for a piece of paper, that will be obsolete and just shredded by the DVLA seems silly.

Any thoughts.

probabally, but doesnt that charge apply full stop for new photocard too?

LOL!! mine was out of date by 5 years when I sent it off, I got caught speeding and pulled several times in that time. Nobody noticed.

The only person that noticed was at the bank when I used it as ID, it was the clerk that told me it was out of date when I had'nt noticed.

A word of warning.....DVLA now revoke your licence if you're a bit slow replacing lost ones...as I just found out...and it costs £70 to get it back Of course, if they don't know you havn't got it, you're OK.

Isn't a change of address free? Just apply to change address (family members home), get both bits free. Change it back later.

The Govt have changed getting your licence renewed/replaced/ammended from a public service into a money making business the bastids. I nearly joined ISIS when I found out it was going to cost me £58 to replace my counterpart
