oh dear rock and a hard place
I don't think anyone will have the totally correct answer here but help and advise needed !!!!!!!! simple outline = moved abroad 9 yrs ago didn't inform DVLA hired a car last week from uk to be informed that photo licence ran out last year however didn't matter to hire car because paper licence ok, went to post office for form for renewal etc and now not sure what to do ie false address, reason why not done earlier etc etc ( plus the 1000£ fine hasn't helped) do we risk it with a family members address (maybe making out we have just moved back) or try and get a spanish one which again i think matters that its already run out plus they inform DVLA anyway and the main problem with that is you can't hire a car until you have had the new licence for 12 months........... what to do??????

Have used my foreign DL with the police though, it works wonders.

no not driving illegally, valid licence until 2031 its just the foto id that i didn't realize had run out of date and had to be updated until last month and i thought it would be easy just to renew, but the forms are scary i don't want to make any false allegations i think im just gonna have to go through the rigmarole of changing it to spanish and go back to borrowing a car for a year on my visits back.
