Detailed description

If you want to exchange your old paper driver's license (gray or pink) for a new card driver's license, you may need a card index copy. A card index copy is a data copy of your driver's license data. You need this if your old paper driver's license was not issued by your current driving license authority.
You must request the index card copy from the office that issued your paper driving license and present it to the office where you want to apply for a new driving license.
