| I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I still have the Paper Drivers licence for the UK, is it still legal or should everyone with a UK licence now have the photo card type? Would the UK paper licence be accepted in NC, so that I can get a NC drivers licence or will I need to get it changed to the photo card type with DVLC in UK? I have only been back to UK 3 times in 14 years and never gave it a thought till now, as I was reading what you need to do to get the NC drivers licence. I have a valid PhotoCard Dubai Drivers Licence, would this and my UK paper one be enough to get a NC drivers licence? Any help/advice as always greatly appreciated |

| The stupid part of UK driving licence is the card really serves no useful purpose. The relevant info that others need is on the paper part ie endorsments. In UK if you are stopped by police or wish to rent a car you need the paper part!!!!! Not sure where on the licence info it says, but you MUST carry both parts in UK. I know nobody does, in fact I guarantee that unlike here very few carry licence at all. Unless things have changed but unless you change any details ie address or you reach 70, then you do not need to get the card licence. |

| Hi cyprusishome, thing is I don't have a UK address anymore, sold our home which is the address on my UK licence about 6 years ago. Still have Bank A/C in UK but they use my Dubai address, a couple of things I use my sister-in-laws address for and she forwards to me. |
