From what I have read lately I think you will ok as long as you take your passport along too with your paper licence.

I'd have thought you'd need both parts of it to be fair. But could be wrong. It's the bit that you're trying to get added to, after all.

Let us know when you get back so that we know! Wink

Hi

Ring them immediatly. I think there are rules about taking a test when you do not have your licence with you but I have a feeling it requires a bit of notice (might be so the test centre can access your licence online).

All the best

No defiantly not,
whens your test, If you phone dvla and say you have lost both parts of your licence, they will reissue them over the phone, so that will save some time getting them, if you have only lost one part you need to fill in forms from the post office, so say you lost it all, when i lost mine it came in 3 days,

best of luck m8

Yes, AFAIK you have to take photo evidence only if it is the old style paper only licence. Unlucky there mate.

Well how is it then that a friend of mine just done her bike test and only has the old licence (no photo card), I believe she took her passport instead and that was acceptable, its worth checking out mate, dont get pushed down at the first hurdle as they say.

A friend of mine drove over to swansea to issue get their driving licence re-issued to them after they lost it, may be worth a shot.

Although that was 5 years ago now, so may not be possible now.

My brother did the same for an emergency passport-ectomy.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME !!

Phone DSA up, find the number on www.dsa.gov.uk

Explain you can't find your licence, they will then fax some forms through to your local test centre, this costed me 5.00 pounds.

You then go, take your passport and then sign the forms the DSA fax through to the office.

then you can do your test Thumbs Up

How did you loose it, in the street? or is it just lost in your home? Neutral

My mothers boyfriend took my wallet from the microwave the night before to spite me, cunt.

You keep your wallet in the microwave? Laughing

Why not just keep it in the freezer like the rest of us nutters do!

I saw someone pass their test without having their licence at all. They'd brought their wifes instead of their own, but with their own driver number and ID the examiner filled in a few forms and tested him anyway.

It's pretty simple - if you have the old paper only licence you need to take photgraphic ID. If you have the new licence you need to take both parts. The new paper counterpart is different to the original paper licence.

well test is posed to be today at 12.41 lol

i phoned the dsa and the new rules say u need your licence unless you have an old 1 with no photo but i also emailed the das and they said

''Dear Sir / Madam

Thank you for your email,you ONLY can test with valid PASSPORT no other id otherwise you will lose fee.

Yours Sincerely

Driving Standards Agency''

so im going down anyway and see if they will let me take the test..

thanks
