D1 form how long

Have you tried contacting the DVLA directly? Easier said than done, at the moment, but definitely worth a go. Applied for my sons provisional 27 June online tracker says application completed and signature verified! Any idea how long until a licence is issued? Does an email get sent to say it has been issued? Hi Lisa, Nope, if you've opted to use your passport photo then the DVLA will be able to access it through the gov database.

They'll contact you if any issues crop up. I wouldn't be too concerned about the wait just yet. I've heard of a few cases where people have been waiting around 3 months for their provisional to arrive.

This is down to the covid backlog, unfortunately. My guess is that your application is currently in a big pile and will be processed soon. If the status doesn't change within the next couple of weeks, it might be worth trying to call the DVLA to ask for an update. I applied online and gave permission for photo to be used from my new passport. When the form arrived for additional information, i didn't include a photo as i had previously agreed to use the passport one.

I have now been waiting 11 weeks and dvla still saying awaiting application return form. Have tried contacting them via phone and email but just generic reply.

Hi Judith, Sorry to hear you've been waiting 13 weeks for your licence now — certainly dragging on now! Easier said than done, though! Chances are the licence has been posted and will be with you in a few days. Hope it's with you very soon! Hi, I applied for my provisional, and the tracker says that my license has been issued, but I have not received a physical copy of my license.

What is going on? It's been 13 weeks. Hiya Joanne, Yeah, I'd say that's your best bet. They might ask you to complete the form again and resend it, but they'll be able to advise over the phone. Please bear in mind that the DVLA are facing a large backlog, at the moment, so it might take a little while to get through to somebody on the phone. Good luck! Hi Limbu, Thanks for getting in touch — hopefully I can help shed some light on the situation!

Unfortunately, there are many people in a similar situation to you. I've heard of some people waiting up to 3 months to receive their licence — certainly not ideal, but I wouldn't worry too much just yet. I'll imagine it'll be with you soon, but please keep us all updated! Hi all, I applied online and after a week got the form. I filled out the form, sticked my photo, enclosed my original BRP and posted using special delivery both ways.

It's been more than 6 weeks now and the online tracker keeps displaying "Awaiting application return form". How long does it take after sending out the form and original documents? I am worried about my BRP now. Tried calling on DVLA's number, always the same response which might be auto that says "busy, can't process, byebye, etc. Regards, U Limbu. I wouldn't be too worried yet, because I've heard of people waiting up to 12 weeks.

Far from ideal, I know, but your licence should be with you soon. If not, then you'd be best calling the DVLA on Hi Anastasia, Ordinarily, it would only take a couple of weeks for your new licence to arrive.

That was before covid though With the backlog caused by the lockdowns, it's likely to take quite a bit longer. I'd be prepared to expect a wait of up to 2 months, if I was you. Not ideal, I know! Hopefully it's with you soon. Hi Claudia, Thanks for your comment! If you're certain that you ended up on a page from an official gov website, then you'll be fine. You are definitely right to be cautious, though — there are a lot of scammy, imitation websites out there so make sure to double-check the URL etc.

With that in mind, you might feel better by sending your application in the post. It's worth noting the long delays at the DVLA, so your application might take a little longer. If you choose to do a paper application, then you'll find more info there. If you choose to apply online, you'll be given instructions on how to submit your BRP at the end of the application.

Good luck with it all! Hi, thank you for your amazing Information. I am trying to apply for a provisional with my BRP. You must use our previous service" and then there is a button to go to that previous service. That site looks very strange, like technology from 20 years ago, and not at all like the rest of UK gov sites. I have a some questions, that I'd appreciate your advise with: 1 Is that site legit or a fake one? I know it costs more, but that is not my concern.

Or to apply online and wait to be asked to send the BRP? Thanks a lot for your time! Hi Ben, I think you'll be fine to carry on with the application. They're making a few exceptions with covid backlog being so large. Are you able to send it within that time?

Hi, I have applied my provisional licence online and I cannot return the application within 21 days. What can I do? Can I apply once more or the existing application is valid. I applied on the 29th of May. Do I need to reapply? Hi On June 23, I sent the application form with my brp card from the post office, on the dvla tracking screen it says still waiting for the application form and I need my BRP card urgently, how can I get my brp card as soon as possible?

Hope it all gets sorted swiftly for you! I have missed my deadline to submit the form by a week, should I still send it as I've seen online that this service has been extended to 90 instead of 21 or just wait it out? Hi Sandy, You should be able to apply using your BRP, but you will need to send the physical document to them through the post. Check out this page of the Gov website for further details - www. Hi Ola, Sorry to hear you're still waiting for your licence!

Don't worry though, the DVLA are working through the backlog caused by covid and many others have also been waiting over a month. You could try calling the DVLA to see if they can provide an update on your application, but chances are it'll take a while to get through to them. It's frustrating, but you'll just have to sit tight while your application is approved. I've applied online for dvla online i got the application form but i didn't send the ducuments back within 21 days what should i do now Is this a normal procedure?

I have tried calling and emailing DVLA, but to no avail, a response has not been given to me. I am very upset as I am really looking forward to start my driving lessons but i can not due to my license not arriving. What can I do to solve this problem? Hi Due to covid is the deadline for sending back the provisional application form been extended? Sorry we can't be of more help. I called but could not get through. Please does this mean DVLA has not recieved my document?

I need them for other applications. Please what do i do? Hi Bob, I'm sorry to hear this. It would be worth speaking to your bank to see if the transaction can be cancelled. I really hope you manage to get everything sorted. Hi Cat, It'd probably be best to wait for the documents they send.

It might complicate and confuse matters otherwise. You need to provide information about what your old address was, where you are going to be living now, your date of birth and your driving licence number. Similar fines apply if you fail to inform the DVA of any changes. You can also visit a suitable MOT centre from 8. The list is here. Things to do: fill out the paper counterpart of your licence, send it along with the photocard to the DVA. You should get it back within six weeks or so.

Lastly, if you pay your vehicle tax by Direct Debit, you need to phone the authorities to let them know about the address change as any correspondence will end up going to the wrong place. The number to do this is An expert behind the wheel or danger to the road? It's taken many hours of wallet-emptying driving lessons but here you are. You made it. You can use this as evidence that you have passed until you get your photocard driving licence, but you actually don't even need to carry it with you.

Your examiner will take your provisional driving licence photocard to send to the DVSA, where it will be updated for your new full driving licence. You'll get your updated full licence photocard through the post within 3 weeks, but you don't need to wait for it to arrive before you drive. If you keep your provisional licence because you need to send it off yourself to change your address or photo, for example , you MUST exchange it for your full licence within 2 years.

It may take longer if your health or personal details have to be checked. You need to wait for your new licence to arrive before driving. Allow at least three weeks for your licence to arrive before contacting DVA.

If your driving licence has not been delivered within four weeks, you should contact DVA enquiries:. Follow the link below to find out how to apply:. We will not reply to your feedback.
