Renew driving licence - very fast service

[RuthieR]

Had a letter this week from DVLA to say my 10yr licence needs replacing mid Nov. Thought I should crack on and get it done seeing as I had read there are delays of weeks as staff working from home etc.

Ordered it online on 21st Sept in the evening and it arrived this morning (25th). Well impressed with the service. All I had to do was pay £14, tick the box to use my exisiting passport photo and that was it.

DH sent his off mid August.
His was to update hs HGV license after having his routine medical. He had to send paperwork so couldn't do it online. He's still waiting

I got mine within four days of applying on line. I believe it's the paper applications that are taking longer.

Mine has come in a couple of days too, although I’m a bit peeved that I had to pay £14 seeing as it’s only valid until 2023 as that will be my 70th birthday😫

I applied on the 15th August, had to complete a paper form as it didn’t recognise my passport details.

So far my cheque hasn’t been cashed and they are currently working on June applications!

Also waiting four weeks so far for a child passport renewal 😵≈💫

Less than a week for my renewal in July but that was online. I guess it’s anything needing paper that takes longer.

I applied for my DD's near the middle of July - still waiting! Applied online but they had to send us a form to sign which came in at the end of July/beginning of August (can't remember which) and was returned straight away. The tracking form on the DVLA website says they are still waiting for it to be returned.

Exactly the same situation as us. It will remain at awaiting return on it's status until its issued, they don’t have anything to say in progress or processing.
