How to replace the photo on your driving licence: https://www.gov.uk/renew-photo-driving-licence

Note that you'll need to use a paper form to use a new photo, otherwise they'll just use the photo from your passport again.

it automatically used my passport photo😭 the only way i can renew the photo w/o using my passport is by post and that could take weeks😭
Get yourself a different ID Card.

OR

Both meet the PASS standards and ought to be accepted by door staff/pubs
