DVLA paper counterpart no longer issued

[Jim Mc]

2015 marks the end of the paper counterpart licence, all further licence records can be checked/updated online:

Gives the DVLA another way of cocking it up.

Yeah.. I read about it about a week ago.
In other countries people don't have the paper part and it works fine. DVLA on the other hand will most likely cock things up.

So how do the nice insurance co's check your expired point's.. at the moment they make you send in a copy of the licence

Sorry did not explain myself well. I have had a play with the licence web site and it just shows current points not expired ones, whilst ins co ask for last 5 years.
Maybe they will stop asking about expired points

About time, no more "we need both parts of your driving licence" bullshit from places. Who the phuck knows where their paper part is anyway?!

I had an issue recently where I was working away and renting a car when I got there, couldn't find the counterpart before I left and when I arrived they refused to loan me the car and couldn't phone DVLA until the morning to verify the licence as they were shut! This system is common sense really, its about time.

I'm travelling abroad soon and have to loan a car there, they're not tied into our systems so I wonder what happens when you can't produce your paper counterpart there?

So if I wait till 2015 I don't have to pay the £50 to get my paper counterpart replaced in order to change my adress? I've spent nearly two years arguing with DVLA over this.

The one I have doesn't have the correct serial number apparently so my licence is still registered at my mums adress. It's something insurance companies seem to be completely unable to grasp as the second I send them a photo of my counterpart licence they re-insure my bike at my parents for me. Much irritation has been caused over this...and all over something they were going to scrap anyway?

Pricks.

Replacement is £20.

Change of address should be free. Are they insisting on having both part of your license back?

You need to send the photocard and the paper counterpart back to change adress which is free, correct.

However as they don't match up I need to pay £50 to get both replaced as the serial numbers need to match up.

Only when the numbers match up will they change my adress & yes, that does mean sending it back to them as soon as I recieve it.

(it makes my piss boil even thinking about it )

Where are you getting £50 from?

It's £20 to replace a lost license, right?

Guessing £50 is for a new licence? Which means you'll only receive category B entitlement, based on past performance.

Insurance shouldn't be a worry though, my bank details, licence and everything are registered to my parents while my bike is insured at our lasses house.
