Just applied virtual, to renew my Photocard licence (you know, the one that was supposed to be free to renew in life :mad: ), and it declares "Please cut my old driving licence in dual and return it to: DVLA, Swansea SA99 1ZW"

Am I presumed to do aforementioned now, or when my new one arrives?

    Indeed.

    Photocards were introduced by 1998, so the first ten-year expirations would have are 2008 - and cost £17.50

    It's now £17, Inflation alone would have taken it to £23 by now.

    I take never done which both it's ever been a problem. The news license should arrive in a few days at which point your motivation to check for envelopes and stamps will becoming about zero.

    I have constantly kept one old license for a while in case they chased me for them but they never have and it must be 6 or 7 times now.
