Another year to go for me. Ropey photo, me with long hair. Ugh.

Still, better than my old passport, which featured a school tie...

I don't know the exact details of it, but I thought that they are no longer valid as a licence... so there for I would say if you have one you don't have a valid licence.

Nope, perfectly valid and legal, been check several times over recent years there's nothing to say you have to change to a photo one.

I think its a EU thing if you want to travel abroad with your vehicle, to try and standardise it across all countries.
