Well to answer your 1st Q you do not live at your mother in _laws address in Newcastle permanently, you live in Turkey? thats an offence under UK law, so its illegal, you also said you renewed your licence last year? at that address? you would have been issued with a photo licence they no longer issue paper licences, you are quite correct there is no laws regarding changing the old paper licence to a photo one, but any change of details/offences you will be issued with a photo licence, this seems to be going slightly off topic so I will leave it there, good luck.
