DVLA need to update the system and there should be provision to upload the scanned pic of BRP or other relevant govt IDs ratger than sending via post and lost....
I’m in the same situation. It is ridiculous!! Dvla says to ask Royal mail, and they say to ask dvla. Dvla takes about 30 minutes to get me connected to a bot, and Royal mail’s average waiting time is above 60 minutes 🤷🏾♀️ Would you believe this??!!! Absolutely ridiculous. I have an international travel from UK next month and don’t know what to do.
@@hanotuweli8192 going through same I got my provisional license but it’s been 1 month I haven’t got my I’d back. Don’t know what to do? Have you got yours?
Hello. I am in same situation like you. It has been 11 weeks and nobody gives me any answer. So i decided to contact a law office and i decided to suing them.
I had the same problem getting my licence sorted out, thank god its back after nearly two months. The main problem is that the DVLA should never have shut down the regional offices in the UK they were easy to find and access and the licence applications were done there and then, all you had to wait for was the licence to come through the post, while you were waiting for your licence to arrive you could still drive your car. They have now gone stupid and make you wait for your licence application to be approved before you can legally drive.
I'm sorry you are having to deal with all these annoying problems with DVLA. I have heard they are unreliable because they are short staffed and over worked..(whats new?) I think that their system needs to be updated..You should be able to extend and update online not by mail..that is slow and dangerous what with identity theft being so prevalent nowadays. I hope it doesn't leave a bad impression for your last week and that all your documentation arrives this week...Fingers X
Clearly VERY UNRELIABLE. Can't believe losing someone's documents is 'just a regular day at the office' for them. Unfortunately it really ruined my farewell week, but oh well, nothing I can do about it now. I guess that was the final sign from the universe telling me I need to leave, haha. Hope I can sort things out in Slovenia...
Here in the US you have to go to an office to get your license renewed. You have to wait 1 or 2 hours but at least then you are done and don't have to send any papers to someone. I do not trust the postal service in any country, too many letters (with money in them) and packages got lost. I hope it all works out for you 💛
@@SandraPotisek Back in the 70's and 80's you could go to regional offices around the country and do it in person but what we have now is supposedly progress 🙄. I sent my licence off via recorded delivery and it has arrived at the DVLA. I just hope they now don't lose it.
I’m really stressed! I applied for my provisional license and send off my form they sent me! I sent my PASSPORT as well! I didn’t here anything form them and 3weeks I then later got my money back in the post! But NO PASSPORT! What do I do as I can’t get through to the DVLA on the phone as it say the line is being used and it says call back later! I have tried ring every day and sending a email. Has anyone got any advice?? :)
Hey hope you are fine Well i send my passport to dvla on 16 oct still I didn’t get any response and my passport also didn’t back please help me to sort out this problem i go police they told we can’t help you contact dvla I contact dvla there is no way to contact please help i want to go back for holiday but i face this problem
I was homeless for years now I’m struggling to get a bank account or any form of Id back No Id nor bank account =no job No job = no home It’s a sick circle and no one seems to want to help enough to change the circumstances
I’ve lost my uk provisional license reference number that gives at the post offices…any way that I can track my application or find my reference number.
I feel your pain. My wife is Hungarian. He sister was applying for he citizenship a few years ago and sent all her documents and certificates by registered post. They lost everything and denied receipt. It too weeks to sort out. Today I am busy with DVLA trying to understand why my wife has three points on her licence for an offence committed by me three years ago. Also she has been given a full motorcycle entitlement when she has never sat on a motorcycle in her life! I’m British and feel ashamed of this country sometimes. Be strong and preserve, you will get it sorted eventually. 👍
I have to say Slovenia is quite bad when it comes to bureaucracy too, but at least you can do things in person there and actually get a human to speak to you, not just get automated robot replies.
That's a big plus! In Germany, with a thing like this you'd go either to your town hall / city hall or to the district's offices and do such things in person. You don't send documents by mail.
I'm facing the issue I received my license But my BRP wasn't with that and I'm waiting for past 4 weeks. What should I do ? I called them but they just say all lines are busy and hang up. What should I do. Pls guide me. Will be thankful to u.
We sent off my son Peter’s provisional driving license application via Registered Royal Mail (after applying for it online and paying the £34) Royal Mail said DVLA received and signed for it - but the DVLA tracking service said they never received it!!!!! I tried talking to someone but the DVLA phone line was always busy - the online web chat was useless- just a robot repeating that it was busy - shit useless
Same issue experienced here. Very strange - they claim not to have received Ukrainian ID documents (covering right to work in the UK) despite proof that they did. Smells fishy. If anyone has had similar issues, please reply to me.
Something very odd is going on@@yigitatalan8656. We got the local MP involved and they eventually processed a new licence, but something is amiss. Let me know if you would be interested in talking to a journalist.
Very odd isn't it @paulneha4288? We got somewhere by escalating it to our local MP. If you would be interested in talking to a journalist, please let me know.

lmao and then people in Slovenia complain for having to wait half an hour in line at the city hall. And Slovenian post, despite all the shit going down in recent months, has been nothing but extremely reliable, even around Christmas.
I've been waiting since May 2020 . My test was cancelled 27th and was re booked for the 28th, on the day the lock down started, I felt that like something wasn't right, but what could I do, September I managed to get through to rebook my driving test, cut a long story short, on line I booked the test 2nd October, it loaded and secured it, I waited 2 hours, I didn't have my theory test registered number, I thought I would need, to inquire about my date, I was told that I successfully booked for the 2nd of October but when I was passed on to a another person you've told me that I hadn't secured the 2nd of October so I didn't have that so I didn't have that date she was very abrupt and rude to me would explain what box I didn't take why I didn't have the that date secure,then first I was given the 4th of November, because I wanted her to explain to me what I did wrong which box didn't I tick, in in second she told me I have lost the 4 november I'm looking at the 28th , and if I carried on with the conversation she would take the 28th of November and it won't be till next year before I can rebook my test , I feel my rights as been violated no explanation , I've been trying to get answers, just keep getin the same email asking the same questions wanting the same information, what can I do,
My sister is going through same scenario. Its so frustrating and we feel powerless. This is unacceptable in a first world country.
Ridiculous how often this happens!!
