Electronic D1 form

Sandtree

Mrs is out the country at the moment (for work before we get into that discussion) and was hoping to renew her driving license whilst she was away. She cannot do it online because her license is shortened due to medical conditions and hers isn't on the list that you can do online.

Looking on the DVLA website the medical form she needs to do is available in PDF format but for the main D1 form it says they have to post you one (or collect from Post Office) and they won't send overseas. A google shows several sites offering a free PDF version of the D1 (no, not those scam sites that charge you to help renew etc). It would be much easier if she can complete a PDF and I print it here and send it but how does the DVLA react to D1 forms printed at home? Our normal printer is black and white so clearly its going to be obvious its not the original form.

So why don't you pick one up from the PO, and post it to her...?

That is clearly the fallback position but RM say its a week and a half to get there, imagine it won't be any quicker coming back and then off to the DVLA. So adds a few weeks and several opportunities for it to get lost -v- doing it within a couple of hours, one opportunity for it to be lost and reprintable if it does get lost.
