Family member banned for being in charge of car while over the limit. Now wants to renew licence after doing the time but there is a slight logistics problem in that they work outside the UK for the moment. So some quick questions

1. Will the DVLA accept a passport number for the photo or do they need a new photo

2. Can the renewal be paid for by card over the phone or does it have to be a cheque

3. There is a medical test which the DVLA will arrange but will the arrangement come by letter or can it be sent by email? If it goes by letter, it will turn up at an empty property as family member and family are not there.

I think the answers are

1. Yes they will accept the passport
2. They will only accept a cheque
3. It will come by letter and someone (!!) will have to go and get it.

Anything different from the above?

Some people think that I make them feel stupid. To be fair, they deserve most of the credit.

Why don't you ask the DVLA?

With question 3 the DVLA don't make an appointment for you. They send you a list of approved doctors and you make your own appointment. As such, assuming there is someone checking the post every so often then you can't miss an appointment, just potentially delay the medical.

However, are you sure they need a medical for drunk in charge? Normally they are for high readings, fail to provide and repeat offenders.

Closed at the moment, so wondered if someone here knew. But they'll be open on Tuesday

Don't know the whole background so wasn't sure if it was a routine check, or specific. Will assume it won't apply so thanks for that.

Applying after disqualification can only be done by post AFAIK so would have to be cheque/postal order
Dunno about medical except that they can ask for one.
On address, why not phone them and ask them to send anything to new address.....or isn't there one in UK ?

Not directly related by any means except confirmation of passport number being okay.
They not only accept the passport photo but will use it, taking it from passport records.

Which gives the ridiculous situation that a mate of mine found.
Photo licence needed renewing, coming up to its 10 years.
The overt reason they require the change is that people change over 10 years so a new photo is needed.
He gave passport number and they used that image.
His passport was due to run out a couple of months after driving licence and both old items used the same photo.
So his new licence was renewed with a 10 year old photo that is the same exact one that was on the previous licence.

Will be twenty years old when next due for renewal and then presumably, renewed with a 10 year old photo.
