Hi
I sent back my driver's licence for a name change, IE inc my middle name as this is pasted on everything else we own/have, EG banks/pension/ni number/bills/deeds, you name it. We are considering going to Iran, possibly to see a good friend and I've been told they are strict on visitors from certain countries, hence having my name match exactly as per my passport etc.
I sent it away 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm aware there have been postal strikes and DVLA are behind. I rang them today but got !!!!!! off with their automated system trying to get through. I foolishly did not send it by recorded delivery but never had a problem in the past with anything going missing/etc
How long is it taking for a straightforward change like the one mentioned above, please?
Thanks.
