Have to confess I didn't know about this but they have just announced that the paper bit of your licence will be scrapped on the 8th of June this year. I have just been on the DVLA site to view my (clean) record and details. If you hire a car or need proof that the paper bit gave you traditionally, you have to log in, get a share code to give to the other party who can then look at your details for a limited time. There is no fee this time. There are certain exemptions for things like really old driving licences that some people still have because the drive like old farts and haven't moved house in 100 years.
Always found the paper bit a real pain. Of course we'll all just keep ours - just to be sure!
