Driving Licence Holder Plastic Wallet 2011

This handy plastic wallet safely holds the old full paper license (I believe that plastic licenses weren't issued before 1998) and it also holds the more recent full paper counterpart to a UK plastic driving license. Its two credit-card size outer pockets will take your plastic driving license & possibly an insurer's or recovery card details. The original plastic wallet supplied to me by DVLA was robust and it has lasted a long time but this is as good as any like-for-like-design driving license-holder as you're ever likely to find. If you no longer have your paper counterpart it would also probably be ideal to hold a single printed Insurance Certificate and MOT Certificate although I don't use it for this. A highly recommended and very useful product at a very low price. Footnote: Since around June 2015 we've been told to destroy our old driving license paper counterparts as they 'no longer have any legal status.' Well, I'm so glad that I ignored this rather short-sighted advice by DVLA by deliberately keeping mine - it has actually been requested for inspection (in France) on two occasions - once when I've been hiring a car and once, along with about twenty other vehicles, by the Gendarmerie during a motorway census. Each wished to speedily check for endorsement details. Food for thought.

Value for money

What it needs to be. Nicely fits the card and paper portion, in a similar fashion to the original, which lasted a long time before it fell apart. So hopefully this will do the same. Four stars purely because the original design and set up is flimsier than it could be, but this is a faithful copy of that. So blame it on DVLC, not this product.

Based on another review I made this purchase for my N.Ireland driving licence as my old licence holder was rather worn. It turned out to be the perfect fit for both the paper part and card. It comes with 2 card pockets, which was very convenient as I used the second one to slip in my motor breakdown service card. A very good worthwhile buy.

Just what I wanted. My old one which was given me with my licence when I passed my test in 1993 has finally given up. I hope this lasts as long. Same presentation with a slot for the plastic part of your licence and plenty of room for you to slide the paper part in. It can be folded into 3 making it quite small

I've had one for years from the DVLA but they stopped giving them out and as time has gone on these wallets are perfect for keeping the paper part clean and in one piece. So needed to re place my old one ( 25yrs old ) and found this here on Amazon. the plastic is more pliable but made of tougher material should last me another 25yrs

Great item for holding my driving licence the Northern Ireland Style Ones. I cant say how it is compared to the UK or Souther Ireland Driving Licences as I haven't seen them. Anyways great fit for the paper part and a small neat place for the card part of the driving licence. Quickly arrived with me.

Too expensive for quality. Fits uk driving licence.
