Around two million drivers are currently using illegitimate photocards
Martin Lewis has issued a warning to all motorists to check their driving licence or risk a £1,000 fine.
The highest fine for an out-of-date driving licence can be up to £1,000. Photocard licences were introduced in 1998 to replace paper licences and must be renewed every 10 years, the Mirror reports.A licence can only be renewed by submitting an accurate photo of yourself due to the fact that appearances can change dramatically over a decade. It also allows police to easily spot drivers who are using the wrong licence.
If you haven't got a letter but still want to make sure your licence hasn't expired, you can check the expiry date on section 4b which can be found on the front of your card. The renewal process can either be started online via the government's website, by post, or in person at some Post Offices. While for most drivers the card needs to be updated every 10 years, if you are aged 70 or over, you will need to do it every three years - however it will be free in this case.
