Paper Driving Licence?

[Jake]

Is anyone still using the old, green paper licence?
I've been told I need to replace it with the new
photo-licence but can't see anything on the DVLA
website which says I have to, and they're not
answering the phone as usual...

I've also looked online and most people seem to
say that you're not obliged to stop using the old
licence until you're 70.....

Anyone know for sure?

your not obliged to but if you have to send it to them for any reason it will be replaced with a photocard

Thanks Kev...
I see they're charging £20 now if you want
to switch to a photo-licence.

I think I'll stick with the one I've got for the
time being....
