I shall watch this with interest. I have a paper one (somewhere) and need to get a plastic one (no idea of the address on my paper one and not sure of the surname on it (and I have been married 20 years)).

The DVLA will not know it was lost if they hadn't reported it lost, but if it was due to expire was it a provisional ? Tell them to just replace it with a new one and a change of address.

they think they got their photo license around 2001 - 2002 so it would be well over 10 years old
