Pass certificate and online proof OK

Once the proof shows online you can usually expect your card within a day or two, as the printing is automated and instant once their systems update to register the pass.

Unfortunately DVSA still require the assessors Mod4 paperwork to be sent to them, where someone will then manually open the envelope and put the results papers through a scanner. As you can imagine, this isn’t very efficient.

DVSA examiners now complete the tests on a tablet which fires the results immediately to DVLA, triggering the card almost instantly. However, as most Mod4 tests are completed by delegated ‘in-house’ assessors then the method is as above as they haven’t trusted us with tablets yet! Hopefully this will change in time to come.
