I`ve finally got my photo d/licence sorted 
I set up the government  on-line Gateway portal watsit & paid the £20 on-line fee & got the pre-prepared form back from DVLA within 7 days.
I got my MD to counter sign my mug-shot, filled in the rest of the form & posted it with the supporting I/D docs.
Nothing happened for nearly 2 weeks & then on a Saturday morning I recieved an automated email telling me I had 14 days remaining to return my application or my renewal will be cancelled. At this point I was assuming the worse & my I/D was now probably being sold in West Africa or Eastern Europe. I thought I`d fone somebody on the following Monday, but then realised I hadn`t copied the application form or noted down basically anything.    Anyway come Monday morning, I hear my Jack terrior trying once again to get a fresh postie finger thru the letter box & bingo they`ve posted back my I/D docs & my license will follow within 14 days. So the portal is flawed in someway, cos it didn`t work for me. I finally got the license about a week later.

I really must do mine.

I've still got a scrap of green paper held together with sticky tape 

I'm hoping to move house soon, I may leave it till then

Like mine - more sellotape than paper

Brother in law just renewed his photo card and they removed his bike entitlement by mistake. Worth checking if you renew yours, it is the second time I have heard of categories going missing on a renewal.

It happened to me on the last paper licence I renewed,it took forever to put right.
My only evidence was a copy of the original. which was held by my employer
