I seem to have either lost or thrown out the paper part to my photocard licence.

Do I actually need the paper part for anything?

You need both parts if you intend to hire a car in the UK.

AND you can't just get a relacement paper one - you have to have both and pay for both. Still the spare photo one might be a useful bit of ID!

Has anyone any bright ideas how to store both parts of the licence?

I've looked in gift shops a few times over the years and no one seems to produce a holder.

A google for "driving licence holder" came up with loads. tinyurl.com/43sktv

And to think it's snails that are meant to be slow:)

I've now ordered said cover from an ebay shop at a very reasonable £2.99 including postage.

Still say you don't see them in gift shops though...grumble...moan...chunter...etc.

If the BiB pull you and request you produce the documents at your local police station and you fial to present the paper part then they can raise a offence against you. Regards Peter

If you order one over the phone it is (or was £19). I once phoned on the Friday and they told me there was a production run at the weekend. It arrived the following Tuesday. Very good service. But then I've had the DVLA tour and was very impressed and that was quite a few years ago.
