I’ve just washed my ADR license - does anyone know how i go about getting a replacement, who I need to apply to, how much it costs, how long it takes
and am I still able to drive ADR loads without it - this may cause a problem for me as I drive a fuel tanker !!

Thanks

You could try the Saftey Law & Working Time Directive Forum - Diesel Dave knows all about the ADR stuff hope this helps :smiley:

Thanks for all your replies.

I’ve managed to open the certificate up and luckily you can still see my name and license catergories, so at least if I do get pulled they can just about make out that I have still got a valid ADR.

I’ve also looked at the SQA website where you can download a form that allows you to apply for a replacement at a cost of £10.00.

I hope this helps anyone who does the same !!

doh !!

Hi matt01,

Unfortunately, this happens fairly often. :frowning:

Here’s a link to solve your problem:

I’ve seen that you’ve retrieved what’s left of your ADR certificate and that it’s readable, so you’re OK to carry on driving a fuel tanker. :smiley:

Those who said that you must have an ADR certificate on board your vehicle whilst carrying an ADR regulated load are spot-on, cos there’s NO option to produce an ADR certificate later at a police station if you’re stop-checked.

I wonder if you could get away with it if you just updated your address with a housename, adding “The Castle” to 123 Bloggs Street.

your gaffer will have a photocopy-get a photocopy of it whilst you send off for a proper replacement copy - worked for me :blush:

Sorry mate,
A photocopied ADR certificate isn’t acceptable if you’re stop-checked, because the original must be carried. (There is no grey area here.)
