Hi guys. I have already got a full car license and i am adding the Category A (bike) bit to it. I have had a look at the DVLA's site but want to make sure i get it all right before i send it all off. I am also changing the address at the same time as i have just moved.

Here is what i think i need to send:

paper counterpart with new address on .

pass certificate

no fee to pay as far as i can see

photocard

maybe a note to explain i need the address changed at the same time?

am i missing anything? Or is any of that wrong?

Ahh you passed your test and adding full bike entitlement to it?

Then yeah that looks about right i think, only the fee bit might want to check, theres a form (D145 or something like that i think, although dont quote me on it) that lists all the possible pricings you can pick it up from a post office.

For the adress change theres an official form for that to far as i know. So a covernote would be a good idea long as you got that form in there as well. Also i think that might cost something.

Just another question -

After two years at 33bhp, do i need to send off for new license?

Since it has '*little bike picture* < 25KW power '

on it at the moment?

So do i need a new photocard to take that off?

Yeah from what ive read you send that off and they will remove the restriction (from your license not bike Laughing

)

the costs are here but im never 100% convinced after reading the DVLAs site. Its not clear enough for me Embarassed

You *can* send it off to have the restriction removed off your license but It doesn't really matter. As soon as the restrictions up you can ride anything. Thumbs Up

There's no fee Laughing

I was in the same boat so I phoned them and they confirmed this.

I thought they automatically sent you another licence after your 2 years was up anyway.

To reflect you're no longer restricted.

Nope. You can buy a replacement license without the <25KW bit on it but there is no requirement for you to do that.
