I would have thought if you handed it in - and it still had months left on it - it may still be 'live' - go and have a word with your LO

You either have a license, or you don't.

If your license has been cancelled, then you don't.

If your license has been suspended, then you do.

Have a chat with your licensing officer, who knows they might be able to work things out.

But don't hold your breath.
