If you renew before 31/05/24 you will still receive the little card ( same pic as the current year) but from then on just an email;

My licence is due on the 6th of April, according to the website it says they send a written paper receipt (not a plastic coated licence) after the end of April I think I read a couple of hours ago, but I've been for a walk and has a single malt since then....

I always looked forward to the new picture each year.
Strangely I keep them all in my wallet.

I think this is most of them since inception.

I was checked only last week . Chatting to the older guy he talked about how different the fishing demographic was at different waters. I was on a canal but he mentioned two very well known local commercials, both near Thirsk - on their last visit to fishery A (only takes cash, much litter , effing and blinding always audible in shop )they nabbed 22 without a licence. At water B - nice staff, decent shop, cash or card and no litter- they caught just two.

do you have a means to check your bank account online for the last payment out to the EA ?
That will tell you the anniversary date positively.
