DVLA photocard driving licences are only valid for 10 years as the photo has to be replaced every 10 years. Hence there is a natural cycle of licence replacement anyway.
Current fee £14 change online, £17 change by post.
I applied for my second three-year post 70 driving licence (and also Mrs S first post 70) online last Sunday evening at about 10 pm.
Both new licences arrived by post on Tuesday morning, barely 36 hours later !
1) Free of charge
2)’UK’ writ large top left in blue
3)large union flag mid right hand side
4)arrived before I’d even posted back our two cut-in-half old licences .
5) self declared, no medical, no eye test, no photo only NI and passport numbers required
6) no minibus/PSV/HGV/ chieftain tank endorsements required
Top marks DVLA
