If it's that important I'd think it would have to be a certified copy though. Believe people on this site got DVLA to certify their licence photocopy.0 -

copy it and have it endorsed by a notary, or anyone who can verify a passport photo. councillor, police officer,solicitor etc. Even your MP if you are on speaking therms with them, you could also complain to them about the DVLA while they are there :-)0 -
Apart from talking about making excuses for not doing what you should have done you are now complaining about not getting a new 10 year licence for free.
Some people are unbelievable.
Motorists contribute £40BN to the Exchequer, but only £10BN is spent on the Roads. Seems like they are owed £30BN."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0 -
The DVLA really are a disgrace and there should be an onbudsmans office specifically to deal with their !!!!-ups.Light blue touchpaper and stand well back !0

They don't have to be. I spoke to the Waterways Onbudsman a few months back. Only one of her, very helpful she was too.Ombudsmen are a costly way of pretending to do something and then giving it a liberal coat of whitewash.
Hmmm ? Actually thinking about it,,,, the DVLA would need hundreds, wouldn't they? You could have a point :rolleyes:Light blue touchpaper and stand well back !0 -
I'm shocked! Also very confused!
This morning a driving licence (I think, from feeling the envelope) arrived in the post. It has my address on it, but the name is one I don't recognise, it certainly isn't anyone who has lived here in the last 30 years!
What should I do with it? Just send it back marked "Not known at this address"?

Send it back recorded delivery. Hopefully, no stranger will turn up on your doorstep asking for that envelope and it's contents....."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0 -
Why should I pay for recorded delivery??
I certainly wouldn't hand it over to a stranger!0 -
good points about taking copies and possibly certifying them, we have to go to long lengths though dont we!!!
madmum, that sounds odd doesnt it, is it a neighbour, could they have got the number of the road wrong?0
