All licences for drivers in England, Scotland and Wales issued from summer 2015 will carry the Union flag.

Drivers are required to renew their photocard driving licences every ten years. To meet legislative requirements every licence in circulation will be a photocard by 2033. All valid driving licences will carry the Union flag by then.
