I have had my provisional license for a while now, but I don't think I was sent the D740 paper counterpart. I don't know if this is because the provisional doesn't come with one, or it was lost in the post.
Should I have the paper part? If so, how should I go about getting them to send me one?

Yes you would have had a D740 Counterpart Drivers Licence. The mail printing machines in DVLA cannot produce and send a photocard without a counterpart as it is the address on the counterpart that shows through the window of the envelope.
You can apply for a duplicate licence over the phone - cost £19 - provided your address has not changed - call 0870 240 0009. It will then be despatched within 48 hours
If your address has changed (or you don't have a credit/debit card) you will need a D1 application form from any postoffice - complete sections 1 to 5 and sign and date section 8 - no photo needed and no ID needed. Send it with your photocard and a cheque or postal order made out to DVLA and send it to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1AB.

Hope that helps

Im almost certain you should have a paper counterpart with your photocard. even though its only a provisional, both parts make up your license as with a full license, and if you were unlucky enough to get any points on your license for any reason, they would be documented on the paper part.
As for where you'd get one from im not sure. as you've had it for a while i doubt you could get one resent for free. so you'll probably find the dvla want a fee to replace a lost one. its worth finding out as it may cause problems when you go for your test if you dont have it, or if they expect you to send it back with your card when you upgrade.

Yeah, your licence is not valid unless produced with BOTH part's (You could get into trouble if stopped by the Police)
If you contact the DVLA they will sort this out very quickly..

my fiancee also recently got her prov licence and has been told to always ensure both are there as one without the other is worthless,the photo is really only to confirm the picture and name apply to the paper details, hope this answers your question (my fiancee was unsure as well) it is all written in the paperwork that came with the licence as are a few other important things to know.

You definitely should have a paper part, write to the DVLA in Swansea, give them your name, date of birth etc., and they should send one out to you - didn't your Driving Instructor ask to see it when you began lessons??

Yes you should. As the licence is the paper part and the photo.
