We no longer issue paper licences. Your new licence will be a plastic photocard, a paper counterpart will accompany it. You must produce
both if the police or a court ask for them. You should also present both when taking a driving test. Other organisations such as vehicle-hire firms and insurance companies could ask to see both.
When filling out the D1 DVLA form, there are several important dos and don'ts to keep in mind. Adhering to these guidelines can help ensure your application is processed smoothly and efficiently.
