That must have been infuriating How often do you have to renew??

That is new to me. I got my licence when I was a teenager and only had to
renew it when my name changed.

In California, it's every 5 years. Before 60, you can do it by mail
for 1 or 2 renewals, until they want you to get a new picture.

Senior ID is good for 10 years.

I suppose it varies from state to state. I'm not a "senior" by most US
government standards. Yet my South Carolina drivers license (issued in
2010) doesn't expire until 2020.

And yes, they want you to get a new picture. When I lived in Tennessee
I could renew online... but at some point they definitely would have
said nope, you need to come in. Unless you're dead, your appearance
tends to change as you get older.

In MD it's now good for 7 years. It just changed recently I guess. We
can also do it by mail but I have to remember to take the eye doctor
portion to be filled out because I have to wear glasses to drive, bad
distance vision.

Ok thanks. We only got our pics on the new licences. Himself <g> only
got one of the new licences when his old one got so tatty it was falling to
bits.

Wow, some of you guys live in great places for DLs....in Iowa, after the age of 72,
we have to show up for the eye test every two years. One would think a RX type
note from an ophthalmologist would suffice, but no, doesn't work like that. Dammit.
It is really annoying.

Gosh I must be eh? LOL I can assure you we have never renewed ours every 10
year so we must be very special.

Especially for the expert on UK law .... Squertz!!

"Though the photocard needs to be renewed every 10 years, in general,
driving licences are valid until you're 70, after which it needs renewing
every three years. If you only need to update your address or name, or
you're over 70 and you're just renewing it, this is free."

I didn't even get a photocard until after I had cataract surgery and himself
not until his paper licence was falling to piece, which was relatively
recently.

When mine ran out last year, I went to renew but as I live in Canada,
they wouldn't allow it.

Bummer You will have been driving here on it all these years though eh?
Could you not have given a UK address? Did you still have the paper licence?

All UK driver licenses expire automatically when the holder reaches
age 70.
After that it has to be renewed again, every three years.

Thanks. Do you have to provide a new photo each time?

We do - I get a letter telling me it's up for renewal in a couple of
months and I simply go in, stand by the counter, camera behind the
clerk takes the pic. Go back to my seat and a few minutes later there
it is, laminated, etc.

It's the most useful piece of ID here (mainly because of the photo)
has one's address and also a box which is checked if you wish to be an
organ donor in the event.

That is part of the renewal process. You take an eye test, get your
picture taken and off you go. Under certain circumstances you might
have to take a written test or a driven test. (Moving to another state
for instance) I remember taking my driving portion of the test in
Minnesota in a blizzard. Snow was piled high by the plows and the
course was indicated by orange flags posted on tops of mountains of
snow. I passed.
