You can renew your driving licence on-line, until it gets to the last page after giving all required information: "If you want to keep your entitlement to drive 3.5 to 7.5 tonne vehicles and towing a trailer you cannot apply on-line. If you wish to drive cars only, you can proceed."

DVLA, Another Timewaster
"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George Orwell -
I am not even joking. I am waiting for my driving license back for 2 months now and I have the regular B one.
Wanted to do a simple address update FFS.
Contacted support multiple times, very reassuring the people there but they ended up not helping. -

And I was the one getting paranoid the tories have brought "the hostile environment" and want to strip people with already flimsy documents (settled status being an online thingy) from other documents they might have.Originally posted by TestMangler View Post

As a non UK passport holder I always have to send them my passport and can't renew on-line. Because of Corona it took me 4 months to get my passport back (last year May). As I will soon move house I will have to get my address changed and will have to send them my passport againСлава Україні! Героям слава!Comment

you have to send in your passport as proof of ID which is returned once they issue your driving license. You might have an ID card from your citizenship country(which you could otherwise use) albeit you have to return that back as well if you have residency in a different country.Originally posted by BR14 View Post

So most people are stuck without passport before their driving license is processed.
I was not required to post mine but had already a valid driving license and had done the exact same thing 1 year ago and it took at most 1 week. It could be that they are overwhelmed this time arround.Comment

They are quite thoughtful actually - if you change your vehicle address, you can only do between certain times, even the web server gets a break:
