A few months ago, I renewed my driver's license - for 5 years. Two days ago, I got a new passport. The number on the diver`s license is the number of my old passport. My questions to the community: Do I have to go back to the Department of Land Transport to renew my driver's license again (including the tests and paying fee)? Or is it also allowed if I just keep my old passport in my car's glove box and show it during a police/traffic check?

I would not carry my passport. I carry a copy in my wallet and phone. I would carry a copy of the old one as well.

Just update the driver's license with the new passport when you renew.

Yes.

I'm changing my driving licence to new passport number at the next renewal, to avoid an additional ball ache
