Finally got mine on 6th of June from initially submitting all the information (update of address, no other details required) on 10th of March.
Took a bit of time but finally there.

I've just been in touch with them over the phone, they can't seem to find the case number that I have been using for weeks with the email conversation.
Either their system crashed or they are deliberately trying to do this to people. Anyway it is a mess.

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:
https://www.gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle
This service is available from 7am to 8pm.

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.

I've been waiting for my renewal (10 yr expiry) since early March.
It is re-assuring to see other people have issues.

Wanted to do a simple address update FFS.
Contacted support multiple times, very reassuring the people there but they ended up not helping.

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."Tags: None
