Renewing your provisional?

[Saltire]

How long does it take? Preparing to do the DAS and need this renewed but I'm not sure if I need to wait til I've received my new license.

As far as I am aware I think you can replace a lost driving license and still drive til you get the card, so is it the same here?

I think you will need both physical parts of your license. Especially when it comes to test time.

Not too sure about turn around time though, when I passed it took about 2 weeks to come back.

Main question though is if I renew it online and get on my bike before I receive my license am I doing so illegally?

[winz]

Just to confirm, do you have a CBT and riding on provisional license?

If you're riding on a provisional and it's out of date, then I would assume so.

[Saltire]

Yep CBT got. I was actually riding for at least two months with it expired and had no issues. Lucky I know.

I want someone to tell me as soon as it's renewed online I can ride but I know that will most likely not be the case.

When I renewed my provisional at the post office, they gave me a type of covering letter/note/piece of paper so that I could still legally ride until my new provisional came through, even though it was around 2 months out of date. However, this was isle of man rules, so not sure if the same applies in the UK, with its much more authoritah.

When I sent off for my UK provisional, it arrived in about 10 days.

if its a lost licence you will be fine. If you get pulled your entitlement will show up on the PNC. (Ex copper )

any liecnce does not need to be renewed till your 70 birthday, for car or bike, and only then you need to provide DVLA with a medical report from a doctor saying your fit to drive. (unless you had been banned and are applying for it back)

If your talking about renewing your CBT you need to book it with a look motoring school, and you get the cert the same day

Quite. I'm assuming that OP's current photocard license has expired. I'd just order a replacement and go ahead and ride - in practice you've got 7 days to produce a new copy.

However, you'll need to do so for any tests, and training schools are likely to want to see it too.

I thought your provisional licence expired after 5 years? If that is the case then op may have his cbt which he states a few posts above but needs to renew his licence. In which case I would have thought no he is not allowed to ride a bike as he technically has no licence now.
