So, passed my test about 3-4 weeks ago. Matey boy instructor/examiner took licence and sent it to the DVLA to be updated... and thats where I've gotten to. It's been near enough a month and it hasn't quite come home yet. what is the best way to liberate my licence?

Phone the dvla, or give it another week, does take a little time, and the DVLA arnt known for there speed.

99.5% of licences are issued by the DVLA within 3 weeks (15 working days).

Still waiting for my V5C though.

Call the test centre first to see if they've sent it off or call your instructor if you gave it to him.

Just rang them Laughing

'It's in the medical department'

'what?'

'uh, someone must have had a similar name to you, done a modified test and sent it to the medical department.'

'I see... so I have been without a licence for a month because someone with a similar name sent in a licence at the same time? Thank goodness you aren't a government department then.'

'uh, yeah, I'll put you through to medical, sorry about that'

'no problem'

I wonder if these people can keep a straight face when they so freely hand out these lame excuses. I bet they have a little chuckle to themselves.
