DVLA backlog

Like a great many others I’m waiting on the DVLA for my driving license. Every Monday they update this page gov.uk/guidance/dvla-corona … -19-update

On the 2nd of August the page stated they were dealing with applications received on June 21st.

On the 9th August the page still stated they were dealing with applications received on June 21st.

Today the page states that they are dealing with applications received on June 23rd!

It has apparently taken a fortnight to deal with two days worth of applications. What a disgrace!

I’m also waiting for my licence, had an email to say they’d received it and thats it!!!

Regardless of backlog that seems to be blamed on industrial action, you may still drive under section 88, after the licence has expired, as long as you meet the current criteria.
