Re: drivers licence
my photo one got nicked just before i moved here... so Ive been using my paper one.
used it to hire a car, buy a car, ID for bank, advanced drivers course and it was no bother.... not had to use it for police though!!!!!
I've just ordered a new photo one.
If you've already had a photo one, but lost both parts (paper and photo) or prepared to lie to DVLA and say that you have, you can order a new one over the phone for £18 (or £19! can't remember) and it arrives to your UK address (the one listed on the license) within a few days. Brother informs me that mine took two days to arrive!

I also had had my photo card nicked. A friend in the UK rang up DVLA and pretended to be me and got the new one very quickly. So I now have two paper ones, one UK card and one Aus card
