    It will be a card. Don't think there is the option of a paper one.

    I thought i heard it a while back that a card version will only be issued if the current licence is within 6 months of renewal .... And if not, then the pink paper version is issued ?

    You heard wrong. Paper licences are not issued since 19th January 2013.

    I was in an identical position to you in May of last year (Paper licence due to expire in 2022).

    Applied for replacment and received the current credit card sized licence.

    I applied a month ago with expiry date 2019. Didn't pay anything and received a card type expiring in 2019.
