What to do with old photocard after renewing online?

[Collectingbrass]

I've just applied for an updated photocard driving licence on line and the confirmation of transaction page asks me to surrender the old licence. Do I need to do this before I receive the old one? I would prefer to keep it, for photo ID, until I receive the new one if possible.

Oh, and if we're spending all this money on GCHQ, Drones, CCTV and this new "IT regiment" why do I have to provide 7 pages of personal information and a photo? Don't they know all about me already???
