Bit of a problem there too; I can't find it! Looked everywhere. I move house so bloody often things tend to get 'tidied up' by the Fuhrer when packing

Went to the post office this morning, applied for a new licence. Lady at the counter said the receipt was proof that I am OK to drive until the new card comes through.

You made me check mine.

I'm good til 2029

I moved in 2019 and notified DVLA the change of address, they must have auto applied the 10 years ?

I moved in 2019 too. They only changed the address on mine. In fact mine was issued in 2012 and I have moved three times since then, so only addresses updated.
I did have quite a laugh with the woman in the post office today, though, so not all bad!

Received my renewal from the DVLA last week and completed the application on line.

Yesterday, received my free new licence in the post, all within a week

i had this happen to me a few years ago, I only noticed when i turned up at a datacentre and was almost refused entry as my ID had expired. Very embarrassing.

It’s every three years once you hit 70
No mention of Europe on my latest renewal and they continue to use the mug shot on my latest passport which expires next year!

I had to update mine but I received a letter advising me to do so about 6 weeks before the expiry date.
No passport so had to do it at the post office.
New license came through in about 3 days.
