Just reliezed my driving licence is 3 years out of bloody date!!!
I haven't been driving for two years but that's not the point. I feel so stupid. It's a photo ID card, will I have to pay the £1,000 fine and retake my test?
I'm devastated at how stupid I've been! Sat in tears, never received a reminder and it's been shoved in my purse and never needed. BlushSad
I'm going to the post office this afternoon to get the forms and have my photo done and immediately send it off.

I realised mine was a year out of date
(Also address was old so no reminders).
Just went online and did the renewal, really easy. Came very shortly after.
Don’t worry just apply now for the renewal.
They used the photo and signature from my passport so didn’t even have to faff about sorting out a photo.

Address is up to date. Never recieved a reminder, I did have problems with my post going missing for a while though guessing my reminder was with that. Sad
I feel so stupid.

Mine expired once and I also realised pretty late and just renewed it? Didn’t realise there was a fine Blush.. nothing happened.
Going to find my licence now and check it hasn’t happened again!
(NB I hate driving and don’t so I’m not driving with an expired licence)

You may get fined but you won’t have to retake your test. You should have had a reminder when the old one expired - is your address not up to date?
