My paper type driving licence states it is valid until 2034, at which point I know I would then have needed to replace it (if I hadn't moved before, got an endorsement, etc). There has been no notice, that I am aware of until this thread, that the paper style licence was being completely scrapped.

The paper licence is still retained and valid until you are 70 ,it is the photo on the plastic part that has a 10yr expiry date for obvious reasons ,the same ones that apply to your passport

Not really no ,being able to prove you are who you say you are by means of an officially recognised photo is a lot better than having someone simply saying they are someone and producing a stolen leccy bill from a bin liner to prove it as used to be the case .ID fraud is a result of being able to gain services and products by electronic data exchange without actually being present not by having a photo licence
