Since 8 June 2015, the paper counterpart to the photocard driving licence isn’t valid and is no longer issued by DVLA. If you are hiring a vehicle this affects YOU.
The counterpart paper driving license was introduced to display driving licence details that could not be included on the photocard. These details include some vehicle categories you are entitled to drive and any endorsement/penalty points you may have accrued.
Previously, you were required to present your paper driving license when hiring a vehicle. This no longer applies.
