How long before I receive my license back?

Hello,

I’ve been issued with NIP for speeding (68mph on 60mph road) I filled in the form and sent it back. Few days later I was given a notice to pay £100 and 3points. I paid and sent the form with my license 10 days ago. And I haven’t heard back since. Even checking DVLA website, there are no points on my license. When should I receive my license back? Should I expect the points to show online before I receive my license? 

Thanks a lot.

    I doubt whether anyone can tell you when you'll get it back. There are dozens of police forces, probably all with different delays due to the current crisis.
    AFAIK the police update the DVLA electronically, so i'd expect to see the points online before the snail mail gets to you.

    Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I’ll keep an eye on the online license website.

    Did you go to a PO to send off your licence etc. so you could get a certificate of posting?
