Photo Driving Licence

[aka pixi]

I have an old style driving licence, I never got it changed to a photocard one as I havent driven for nearly 7 years. I just realised I have absolutely no photo ID. How do I go about getting a photo licence? Does anyone know how much it costs? Also do I have to have my photo signed by someone like a GP, my employer etc?

Thanks :)

It's a shame you consider one's GP to be a pillock, mdoo98, even if he is upstanding. I hope you're never ill enough to need the services of yours as I doubt he will be able to deal with your problem, being the pillock that he is.

On a more helpful note, aka pixi, you may find that your GP (pillock or not) is unable to sign your photograph. Rules introduced last year meant that GPs could no longer sign passport applications and the accompanying photos. I'm not sure if the same now applies to driving licences.

You just need a friend or family member who has known you for a few years to sign it (who has one of the specified jobs, e.g. teacher).
