I've just received a replacement photocard driving licence as my previous one was past the 10-year point, thus requiring an updated photograph (plus a payment of £20). The DVLA specifically requests that the new picture must be: 'in colour, not black and white, against a light grey or cream background'. So, when my new licence arrived, I was rather surprised to see that my carefully prepared colour photograph had been changed to a black and white one. I called DVLA to query this and they had no idea why all new licences are now being issued like this. As my previous licence had a colour picture, I'm now totally confused. What do you think about this?
