What If I Simply Want To Change My Old Paper Licence and Photographic Counterpart For A Photocard Licence?

We realise that you might want a new photocard licence even if your old style driving licence does not need to be renewed or replaced.

If you want to change your paper driving licence and photographic counterpart for a photocard licence you will need to apply for an Optional Renewal by completing application form DL1 and enclose your paper licence, original documents confirming your identity, a passport sized colour photograph and the appropriate fee for an Optional Renewal.

DVLNI has introduced a checking service at 8 selected Motor Tax Offices across the Province.
