DVLA photocard renewal
 
Just got reminder from DVLA today saying photo on my licence is due for renewal. Just wondered if they ever sorted out the lost entitlements problem they were having for motorcyclists, as its my only form of transport and i dont have a full car licence im a bit worried by the horror stories ive read. Anyone on here recently renewed or got any info that would help.

I haven't renewed recently but i changed my address a few weeks ago and i've not lost any entitlements.
Infact when i passed my car test, the only entitlement I lost was the one stating 33BHP which was long expired anyway.
Possibly they've sorted the errors out now?

In same situation I would make photocopies and have them signed as true copies by someone important, lawyer or police officer maybe. That way you have some backup.

Aye, might pop in to police headquarters (cos its only out the back of my house) and get some backup.

I read on dvla site that you could request a data subject enquiry sent out that costs a fiver but supposedly shows all your entitlements.

Drew needs to do his by the end of this month.

He has today at work photocopied his licence and got it signed by one of the accounts as a true copy, just incase. I also did the same this time last year when I changed my name on my licence.

I said I "lost" my previous license therefore didnt submit it just in case my entitlements went missing. I found it again a few days later. It costs the same to renew whether you lost your previous license or if you submit it.
