flyboyprowler Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 As I recall, my last licence, sent through the post office was returned fairly quickly. I think the receipt you get is acceptable should you have to produce your licence while it is away for renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty hunter Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Roddy - 2019-02-06 5:24 PM Need to renew my driving licence in mid May to include C1. How long does DVLA usually take after application please. If you are healthy it should be quick but if you have any medical conditions it could take longer. Good luck John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshortcircuit Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I had(still have) medical conditions and it took about 3 months including a treadmill test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancepar Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 DVLA sends out a D46P about 90 days before the licence expires with a free envelope, not pre-paid. The D46P tells you all you need to know and what to do if you need to renew a C1 or D1. BTW a D4 medical can be obtained from £50.00, have a look on the interweb.

Billggski Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It runs from the date of issue, not your birthday. So you can "lose" a couple of months if you send it back early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmac Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi the wife sent her application off a week before christmas, it came back a week or so into January dated from her birthday, end of January. Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviddwight Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Mine have always come back dated from my birthday. When I applied for my first renewal on reaching 70 it took eight months, but it did have nearly two months extra on it. Just re applied last week fort the next three years. The last time it took four days to come through, that must be a bit of a record!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I lost 6 weeks when I applied early. I rang the DVLA and was told they date it from the date they process it and they would not alter it to my Birthday. My advice is that if you have any medical problems, use your own Doctor. It will be more expensive but there is more chance that you will not need additional tests. You can also use your own Optician for the eye requirements. Mine did it for free.
