So did the old UK one, or at least since 2016 when mine was last renewed.

Shown here with another licence renewed in 2014, no Union Jack!

Mine from 2010 and the renewal in 2020 both have union flags on.

When I still had my paper one, I was pulled over one day for a routine check. In the car was an older Officer and a rookie. The youngster asked for my licence. I gave him this very frail, thin, and battered piece of paper. I said be careful its a family heirloom. He treated it like he was examinang a Rembrandt.  Very respectful, but I did chuckle afterwards, hope he didnt tell his boss.

Hi,

Didn't this forum, at one time, put our individual national flags alongside our avatar? I got the Welsh Dragon ....

or maybe it was the DIFFLOCK forum?

Thinks ... I don't recollect seeing the Cornish flag recently.

Has anyone mentioned the top left UK symbol has changed in your most recent licence, no more stars around it.

I'll be keeping my EU license, passport, number plates as long as I can, I was born European and still consider myself European.

Same here.

Shall have to remember to ask to retain my pre-1997 rights as well, or the new one will come back as a bare category B and that will not do as I pull a >3.5 tonne GTW combination plus occasionally drive a 7.5 tonner. [actually it is a 6 point something tonne but it puts me into the modern LGV category]
