I have just passed my tests for an a2 licence, my examiner said i need to get a form from the post office and send everything off to the dvla to get my licence changed, anyone know what form that is?

Thanks

When I passed my car and bike tests, I was asked by the examiners if I wanted to hand over my licence to get it updated, which I did.

Anyway, if you've missed that opportunity, you need the DL1 form, order it here if you're too lazy to go down to the post office:

Thanks, my examiner didnt give me the option to give him my licence, just told me to get the form and send it off

That would be a worrying development. You'll really, really want to hold on to your pass certificate - DVLA have form for just forgetting about entitlements.

hrmm that reminds me. I never received mine back when i got the licence back from DVLA. I was told to get post office form and send it off with postal order (i was changing photo too) and with my pass certificate to DVLA.

Called the dvla and they've confirmed their standard procedure is to destroy the certificate once the entitlement is added.

As above, my examiner got my licence updated. I didn't have to send anything.

I've still got my Pass Certificate.

I don't trust DVLA with anything. I "lose" my licence whenever it has to be updated.
