I won't hold my breath ,but it gives me hope.I've been driving for months with an out of date license, I've tried until I'm blue in the face to get it sorted, to no avail. If I get stopped by the police I'll have my day in court. I've bought and sold a car recently with no problems with the DVLA, my license is another story.Long story cut short, had to renew licence by end July but left it late to post forms so I applied online so I could carry on driving the van (3500kg) so I posted them beginning Aug with cheque for £ 17 for change of photo, just checked bank account and dvla has cashed it so does that mean they are processing my application
Thought you had to pay if you were changing your photo, I had to do mine as I looked like Sadam
Yes you are correct £17 for photo change,Thought you had to pay if you were changing your photo, I had to do mine as I looked like Sadam
Not if 70 or over.
Yeah but not a blank onePerhaps that's the secret to getting a licence sorted at DVLA - just attach a cheque...
I think if you applied in good time, in good faith, a policeman - if you can find one at all, isn't going to throw the book at you for DVLA slow processing if your license.Long story cut short, had to renew licence by end July but left it late to post forms so I applied online so I could carry on driving the van (3500kg) so I posted them beginning Aug with cheque for £ 17 for change of photo, just checked bank account and dvla has cashed it so does that mean they are processing my application
That happened to me. I think they have to put your cheque into their account, then send you a refund cheque. A real pain, I can never remember how I can get the cheque paid into my account, now my local bank's closed down.
Depending on the bank you can pay in at a post office or do it on a phone app taking a photo of the cheque. Unfortunately not all banks support these methods.
l have just had medical fo C1 renewal and it was £17 to change photo, it was quite clear on bottom left next to check list.
I’m the same hoping by a miraculous it comes to top of pile,meanwhile cannot go on my normal jaunt.So can I live in hope that they are sorting mine out
I'm sorry but that is not correct you only have to pay if under 70 the from is not clear. As I said I did mine last year and had to send a photo there was no charge.
I stand corrected.
I agree, it's perfectly clear. I sent a postal order to cover it, just to avoid any possible delay. But they sent me a refund cheque
But on the DVLA website it says renewing over 70 No Fee.I agree, it's perfectly clear. I sent a postal order to cover it, just to avoid any possible delay. But they sent me a refund cheque
Lenny, l’m doing a Chaser here not letting go, take a look this is the form and no mention of free for over 70.
It’s no fee for renewal but £17 for new photo.
The form is incorrect as it is a general form that doesn't mention age.It’s no fee for renewal but £17 for new photo.
Personally l didn’t need a new one adding as l haven’t aged in the last twenty years
It’s the form we fill out and the current one sent from the DVLA when advising the renewal notice.
lucky bu**erIt’s no fee for renewal but £17 for new photo.
Personally l didn’t need a new one adding as l haven’t aged in the last twenty years
If you read it the fee only applies to * items of which medical renewal is not.
