Due to the fact that the renewal is now connected to the Government Gateway ID, if you have been using this for income tax purposes, it recognises that you are no longer resident in the UK and therefore denies your application to renew.

Have just renewed my DL online - special page for those over 70 was used - had to reset Government ID as could not remember the reset questions.
Old licence has to be sent into Swansea in 2 after cutting. (this might be a prerequisite for the new one although it does not say online). You have got the option to renew without the old one.
Dont hold your breath as new licence has not yet been received!
Info required was:
Address(s) for past 3 years at least
Telephone number was not insisted upon.
NI number
Passport Number
New password,
Three new reset questions and answers.
email
New Gov ID provided. Relogged in with new details and progress of past applications were listed from 10years.
