Driving License Renewal

Brokeattheminute

Need to renew my driving license cos ive had it 10 yrs.Got a form from the post office that says to post everything to Coleraine but it also says that if you dont want to send your passport off to them to bring it to a one of the offices and theyll do a pos i.d on you but they been closed from July which makes me think that maybe the form is out of date.Was wondering if anyone has renewed their driving license in the last month or so and were they able to do it through Coleraine?

I sent my driving licence to Coleraine a couple of weeks ago, the new one arrived yesterday.

I was on the phone with them yesterday as I need to change my name & address. V5 forms now go to Swansea but drivers license stuff still goes to Coleraine. I was told that here are a couple of places that will do the ID checks but the only one close by is the MOT centre in Boucher Road (Ards doesn't do it but I think it was Ballymena or Ballyclare that does).

Did you send it signed for and put a letter in saying that you needed quickly ?

I didn't really think of it. Would it have worked?
