“Can You Get a Fine for an Old Photo on Your Driver’s License? Know the Law”

Since 2013, anyone who passes or replaces their driving license (again) no longer receives it on paper, but receives a European driving license in the form of an electronic card with a microchip. This chip contains your personal data and information about the specific driving license you obtained. Because you have to renew that bank card model every ten years there is always a fairly recent photo on it. Yet you can change a lot in your appearance in ten years. The photo on your paper driver’s license may be decades old. You have to watch out for that.
