    If I remember right, the last few posts were that due to the volume of requests they received, they were now charging for this.

    But requesting a new license with a change of address is still free I gather - it doesn't extend the term though (so if your license expires 2015, the new one will too)

    that's kind of sad. i know a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon for a freebie license but wasn't it a great incentive to get many many much needed donors at little cost to the government.

    Where on the new driving licence does it say you are a donor? I have received my learners permit and just want to make sure it is on there.

    Off topic slightly but what payments are accepted for new license fee? P/O ? Debit card? I remember trying to find the info on their site a few weeks back and failed.

    Was in tax office today, and as per boards thread that if you are an organ donor the exchange is free. Not at all. I paid 35€ and was also told there was never a free exchange for organ donors. ?? was this an internet waffle or what?
