Can anyone tell me if they’ve had a licence from DVLA in the last few days please? Got mixed info about whether or not they are dealing with licences so would be good to hear if anyone has had their licence recently.
In the meantime, stay safe and look after yourselves.

Yeah, my mrs sent off her license renewal last Monday, and got her replacement on Thursday! So if anything, they are working quicker than ever
That’s good to hear. Hope it continues. Thanks for the reply.
Pete
Had to renew my photo so did it in the post office on Friday 22nd March the lady on the counter said it could take a while it came the following Wednesday…
Was very surprised
Pete get back to the newbie forum where you belong. 
Thanks. It’s looking as though, somehow, this might continue. Good news for new starters.
Pete
They are dealing with licences. They have to. What they’ve said is due to less staff licence applications and renewal will take much longer than normal to process, however they are prioritising vocational licences due to many being key workers and the need to ensure they have a valid licence to continue working.
Pete get back to the newbie forum where you belong.
Oh, and it was nice playing with the big boys

That’s a surpise.
What about those folks who need a medical to renew their entitlement ? I need a medical mid August so hopefully back to normality by then perhaps !!

Yay! Got a reply from my MP. She’s spoken to the Transport Secretary, and DVLA will suspend the D4 requirement for up to a year. There’s going to be an announcement on their website shortly.
