Driving License
Options
Hi Folks
Moved house and have finally gotten around to sending in my paper driving license as you are supposed to do. Has anybody done this recently? And how long did it take? I'm only asking as its now been two weeks and that seems ample time to process this request.
Look forward to your replies.

If you have the old-style paper licence you will need to apply for a photocard licence. The website says it takes about 3 weeks to come through. Have a look on their website:

Assuming you haven't got a photocard, did you fill in the photocard application and attach a (certified) photo?0

Many thanks for your replies. I filled in form D1 etc (after reading the instructions and info booklet) I never read the web site info re processing time. I shall now stop panicking for another week.
Thanks
