    Think i might have to change my photo in my drivers licence as people say its not me in the pic. Lost a bit of weight and ive since shaved my hair. How much will it cost? Is it as simple as just asking for a new one? is there a diff form to fill out as opposed to the one when you first get a licence or whats the story?

    anyone have any advice or similar experience?

    Thanks.

    Does the opinion of the people who say it's not you really matter?

    If you can, wait until January for the new licence (if that happens on time). If not a new 10 year licence costs €25. Not sure if its the same as renewing an expired licence, ie. Eyesight report necessary or not.

    It's a form of ID ,so it's kind of important that it looks like you. Depends on how different you look to it though.

    If you change your address and want the new address on it, it's free from what I remember
