If endorsements (points) were applied to your licence, but are now expired, you can remove them. To do so, apply to exchange your driving licence for a new one.
To exchange your licence, complete the D1 form application for a driving licence. The form is available from any Post Office.
Ensure that you send your photocard driving licence, paper counterpart, and the £20.00 exchange fee.
Note that if your name has changed, you must give DVLA documentation confirming the change of name. Send everything to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BU.
A photo can be renewed by you at any time. A photo on the photocard licence has an expiry date. You must renew your photo before it expires. The date of expiry is shown on the front of the licence.
You can learn more about renewing the photo on your licence and apply online via DVLA's website.
If you are a paper driving licence holder, complete a D1 application for a driving licence. The D1 is also available from the Post Office.

Post these items to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1BU.
