UPROAR Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I know it may be considered petty by some Unionists but my license is up for renewal and if I get one of those hideous new ones I intend to cover the UJ with a saltire and laminate over it. I have been unable to find anything information that would prevent me from doing this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Don't think the UF ones come out till June. I just got my new photo licence through the post the other day and it still has the EU flag on it - not sure what Mr Farage does with that... I could be talking bollox though, think the paper part gets done away with in June / July. Edited January 19, 2015 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Well a fella I know pasted a picture of shrek over his wife's photo in her passport unbeknownst to her before going though passport control, and got away with it, I think you'll be fine with a mere fleg.

"Got away with it" as in the customs folk thought the photo matched the wife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It's probably not illegal, although if pulle dover the polis will probably have a giggle at your expense, and if you ever need to send your licence back I imagine the wee Welsh lass checking your paperwork will think you're a bit of a fanny... But she'd probably have though that from your picture anyway. Fill your boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've still got one o those paper ones. Is that illegal? If you destroy it within the next 15 minutes before the polis get to your hoose, you'll probably get away with it. No, it's not illegal.

sbcmfc Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 is it possible to request a paper one ? I think they're doing away with the paper ones altogether, and the paper counterpart that goes with the photocard ones. Not sure if there's a requirement to get a photocard one if you still have paper though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll certainly have no intention of doing so with this UJ shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 From DVLA... Seems the paper counterpart to the photocard is obsolete, but you can still use a paper licence as long as your details remain unchanged. Photocard driving licence holders: When DVLA stops issuing the counterpart, you should destroy yours but you still need to keep your current photocard driving licence. Youll still be able to use the counterpart driving licence to change your address with DVLA. You can also change your address online. Paper driving licence holders (those issued before 1998) These will remain valid, and should not be destroyed. From 8 June 2015 endorsements/penalty points will no longer be recorded on these driving licences. This information will be held on DVLAs driver record, and can be checked online, by phone or post. The next time you need to update your name, address or renew your licence, you will be issued with a photocard only. Entitlements/penalty points and the status of your driving licence wont change.

neilly71 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ill be scraping it off or covering it. It might be a bit sad but not as sad as a government forcing us to have it on our licences in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
