Where To Send The Application Form
Send the form to:
Driver Licensing Division,
DVLNI,

When You Have Sent The Form
It usually takes 10 working days (does not count Saturday, Sundays & public holidays) from the date of receipt of your form at DVLNI until your licence is issued. Due to the fact that we have entered a peak period for renewal of applications it may take up to 20 working days provided there are no health or other details to be considered.
If your licence has not arrived within this time, please write to:
