One bike was even automatically done by the DVLA and I even got an automatic refund on the tax. Another took so long that the tax refund was almost half of what it should have been....

If DVLA are doing their job correctly, if the bike is already taxed, the process of changing to Historic is done automatically. But, its not very often they do their job properly these days 😂😂😂😂.

I still have my old paper driving licence and need to renew it for the photocard type (I tried to book a hire car a few weeks ago and they refused my licence, the wife had to hire it, I will never use Eurocar again!). I am seriously dreading sending my licence away it as I know of two people who did this and when the licence was returned the motorcycle category was missing! despite protests the DVLA refused to add it and also refused to accept a photocopy of the paper licence as proof! One of these people had to retake their motorcycle test.

My advice is to make sure you photo copy your old paper licence before you send it off as that might help if they miss any groups off that you have passed your test for.
I kept my all green paper licence until I was 70 as we lived at the same address since 1984 so my photo licence was free and it came back correct.
If you have a current passport its pretty straight forwards to prove identity - a bit more tricky if not. My problem was understanding the new groups on a photo licence - it aint Group D anymore!
Call me paranoid but I photostated my new photo licence when it came up for renewal,
