    Just done it and I'm confused.

    I chose the option which didn't involve me posting a picture in as I thought I could upload one off my computer so I don't understand how I'm going to have a photocard licence now?

    When you look on the 'what you need to send in' bit it says you may need to send a photo and a copy of the form signed... if it tells you at the end when you've completed the transaction. Which it didn't.

    I filled in the paper form initially but it was as clear as mud who could sign as a witness to the photo etc so thought I'd try it online. Now I'm even more confused :)S)

    Any ideas?

    Ta.

    Right but I've just done it online. And paid the £50.

    Just need to know if I have to send them a photo or not cos it gave an option for them to find a photo or summat and if they couldn't they'd contact me but I don't understand.

    It's fecked

    The paper one contradicts itself so many times it's untrue.

    And I normally have no problems filling forms in.

    do you not have a picture on your passport?

    They get the image & your signature from the passport mate.

    I suppose the real question is then have you changed much?! Haha.

    That must be the reason why you get the option to send in the photo. Looks like your lumbered with the curtains and blonde streaks.

    I've emailed them

    Thing is, I was about 15 when it was taken and had glasses on lol.

    I'm now 26 and have had my eyes lasered so no glasses!

    I can never believe I get through customs with it it's that bad!
