Post Brexit licence
Does anyone know if I will need an International Driving Licence in order to take my Burgman down through France this summer? If so, how do I get one?
Re: Post Brexit licence
If no deal you may do I'd wait till end of march to see for sure .
From post office on demand over the counter .

You shouldn't for at least 2 years but as stated fill the form in at any 'good' post office counter and they fill it in there and then costs £5.50 as I recall. You'll need a passport size photo
It's actually worth having as most European countries expect production of photo ID if requested by authorities so is handy

Re: Post Brexit licence
We still have our paper licences without photos, they were checked by police in a random check in France last summer and no comments made?
Should we change these? would we have to for the privelege? We will be in France for june d day celebrations

Re: Post Brexit licence
Had a live chat with DVLA who assured me no photo required for IDP and my current paper licence also ok, but if I wanted to change to a photo license it would cost £20

Re: Post Brexit licence
A down side to the photo licence is that the photo has to be updated evey 10 years, the updated licence is £20, if you forget to update the picture (no reminder is sent fron DVLA) you are effectively driving without a license which carries a fine of up to £1000.
