Your photo
DVLA will use your passport photo for your new licence if all the following are true:
- your driving licence is due to expire within 2 years

DVLA will tell you if a suitable electronic photo is not available. They’ll send you a form so you can give them a new photo.
You can make sure the photo on your licence is updated by using the photo driving licence renewal service.
