    I can only assume that the person in the PO didn't know it was free for over 70s.  Can you get back to that PO and advise them of their error?

    I think we might have another WUM. Can anyone spot them? I say 'them' but how many female WUMs have we had? Not rhetorical or sexist. Just interested.

    KT53, you would think the Post office would know the fees. I will have to go back tomorrow,it's a flaming nuisance. heres a picture of the renewal and expiry date! I dread to think what would have happened if I hadn't noticed! What the devil is a WUM??

    I didn’t do mine online,  I had a form sent to me, I had a photo taken in Morrisons booth,  stuck it on the form and posted it off. All free apart from the photo.

    When my photocard license was renewed, I didn't need a new photo, I just gave them my passport no. and they were able to access a photo that way. I thought it was rather clever.

    The same photo is in my drivers licence, bus pass and passport. Someone has connected the dots somewhere because I only submitted the photo once.
    PS I bet the traffic cameras can recognise me too and should I dare to protest about anything, I'd be identifiable.

    I haven’t got a passport or a bus pass. So Morrison’s booth it was, for me.

    I didn't need a new photo 3 years ago,which I thought was odd, because it was 12 years old. Did it online no problems. This time it requires a new photo.  I didn't have a passport then either
     I don't know whether it was the post office or the DVLA who have messed up and renewed it for 6 weeks. Was going to try and ring the DVLA, but my grandkids dad had to do that recently, for a change of licence,and was waiting to get through for 3 hours!! They sent a large envelope with the forms,you have to provide postage these days,and I frankly wasn't happy sending the personal documents through the post that they require for ID purposes.
