Doesnt your licence indicate the year it was issued?
For insurance purposes letters from DVLA are not sufficient as you can hold a licence without being insured.

Re: Driving in Ontario

Zoe, I'm not sure that's right. On the Ontario motoring page (link below) it says tat your driving licence can be used as evidence of one year's driving only. To declare two years' driving experience, you need an official letter saying when your licence was issued. Seems ruddy stupid to me as the licence has the issue date printed clearly on it!

Does anybody know whether or not a full DVLA driving record will serve for this purpose? If so, is there an accepted period of validity for the letter?

That section, 'Proof of Driving Experience' is a sub heading under 'When You Can't Exchange' so does not apply to exchanging a license.
