I have double checked this information for you and unfortunately the office in Adelaide needs to have the official driver’s licence as a faxed copy is not a certified copy of the licence.

My husband has one of the older style paper driving licences which he has cleverly left at home. He'd planned on renting a car in Adelaide is there anyway I could take his licence to a local Avis (I'm in Amsterdam, Netherlands) who could verify he has a licence to their Australian colleagues. Obviously he has a passport for identification purposes. Hi there

Unfortunately I've only got the photocard part of my UK license and not the paper part. It was only after booking that it was made clear that both parts were required. Is there anything that can be done, such as a fax from the DVLA or similar? Thanks Hi there,

The DVLA certificate of entitlement is only valid in the UK. Desiree - Reservations UK Hello Tim,

I still have the paper part - just not the ID. I cannot get through to the office in Frankfurt to check if it's OK? Will they accept the paper part and the Certificate of entitlement? Hi,

I have booked a car rental in frankfurt in 3 days time and had my wallet stolen yesterday – I now dont have time to get a replacement licence.

I still have the paper part – just not the ID. I cannot get through to the office in Frankfurt to check if it’s OK?

Will they accept the paper part and the Certificate of entitlement?

Regarding the paper part, across Europe, most offices only check the ID card as in most of Europe the driving licenses are only the ID photo card, and not a two part license like in the UK. This should not be a problem when you pick up later on today in CDG Airport. Desiree - Reservations UK Dear Luke,

I'm renting from Paris CDG and have photcard and passport. Will i need to get DVLA to send letter of entitlement to the CDG office in advance? also i'm temporally living in Dublin but licence has UK address on, will this be an issue? as bank address does not match licence?

Desiree - Reservations UK Dear Dave,

That will not be a problem for you to pick up the rental as the billing address and the driver’s license address only need to match when a delivery is involved.

I have the same problem as Paul except that im hiring a car in Canada, will this be a problem? I have a valid UK photocard and paper license, but I’ve just recently moved house, and have changed the billing address for my bank card, but haven’t got round to contacting the DVLA about changing the address on my license yet. It’s only been a few weeks since the move, would this prove to be a problem at pickup, as the billing address now doesn’t match with the license? Regards Dave Hi.
