Plastic credit car license

[Pathca]

There is no expiry date on the paper licence but, big but, they become invalid in 2033. A somewhat pedantic difference but it is important nevertheless. I predict chaos in the second half of 2032 as mass demands for new licences arrive at ANTS.

Just as well that mine is valid until 2038 then.

Won’t yours become invalid in 2033 with the rest of them?

@widge Presumably it's just a medical every 5 years for the C1 ? The B part for driving a car is valid for 15 years and doesn't need one.

I'd love a credit card sized license. I got my French license exchange in August 2013 and it is paper with the first 1/3 under a plastic laminate. Its a pain because it doesn't fit in an ordinary wallet.

Quite agree with you it will be manic as usual cos 2033 is the end date for all paper licences. OH has one but he is determined not to swap it until 2033 when he doesn't have a choice - he reckons that then when he gets the plastic card he will be almost 80 yrs and says if he lives that long the new card will give him 15 years without having to take a medical by which time he thinks he will be either using a taxi service or he'll be...........long dead !

Sorry if i confused things, i have a plastic licence, but was just that it wont expire the same time as the old paper licences.

Fixit and I both have pink paper licences, each with the photo of some smiling young person on them.
Fixit can't see to drive but hasn't handed his licence in as if, miracles do happen, his double vision disappears of it's own accord (the docs say it may) he might be able to get glasses and drive again.
