Did you know that photocard driving licences expire after 10 years?

Did you know that photocard driving licences expire after 10 years?

The AA have sent out an email to its members to remind them to check their photocard driving licences, as they are only valid for 10 years. Apparently it costs £17.50 to renew, plus the cost of the new photo of course.

I was aware, but then I am a Police Officer!
If you look at your photocard you will see that sections 4a and 4b show the "valid from" and "valid to" dates respectively. I have checked mine and for some reason it is only valid for 9 years and 10 months!

How very patronising of the AA to assume their members are too stupid to read the expiry date on their licences.

Yip, the expiry date is on the front of your current photocard (if you have one)

yer the dvla will remind you about 3 months before it expires and send you the paperwork to renew it.

No different than passports, your face and features change over ten years, so all details have to be kept up to date.
