Hello everyone!
Yesterday my tachograph card got broken. I am Romanian, working in London and my tacho card is still Romanian, haven’t change it.
Now, I really need to find out how can I replace the broken one? I ve asked all my colleagues and no ideas, apparently I have to contact DVLA but they will definitely replace it with a British one. So is there any way that I can replace it and be the same?
If you want a Romanian tacho card instead of a British one its easy . You have to go home to Romania and wait until you get a replacement and then make your way back to the UK again . The Romanian embasy may be able to help if theres one close to you . Other than that I don’t think there is many other options

Thank you! I really appreciate your answer. A visit to my country cannot be on my list right now, so I will do the British one. So just to clarify, I will have to fill a form on DVLA website, right? Then I should find all the information over there.
The digital tachograph card is linked to your driving licence, whoever issued your licence will replace your card.
According to DVLA, you need to download form D777B unless you’ve got a UK licence in which case you need D777B/DL (second link).
I’m guessing that you will have to convert you licence etc to Uk to enable you to get a new UK tacho card, how long that would take I don’t know, it maybe quicker to apply for a replacement Romainian card and have it shipped over, or a quick weekend dash to collect it

Thank you! I have already changed my driving licence with an UK one. Only the tacho card remained the same because there is no need of changing that as well. But now I will have it changed once they will replace the broken one.
Thanks, everyone! I am glad I could find someone that helped me with this problem.
It should arrive very quickly.
Once reported you can drive for 15 days without while waiting for replacement.
I would double check this with them with it being a Romanian one.
