dustyfox Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I have to renew my licence every 3 years because history of epilepsy. I had to renew my licence in August and so I sent my licence of and filled in all the forms to say they can speak to my doctor etc, this was Middle of August I sent the forms off. Now here is the problem this weekend I am flying to East midlands airport and as I aint got a passport for identification I need my driving licence. I thought it would be back to me by now but it seems the DVLA are sleeping on the job. It really shouldnt take this long to renew a driving licence surely? I have not had any seizures since i was a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 If you have an FAC or SGC you'll find they probably accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Sweepy Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Dusty I am the same as you had Epilepsy as the baby. When i got my driving licence in 19cough.cough. They put me on the three year licence. because of the epilepsy. But after the three years were up they said that i was safe to have the full licence(obviously they have not seen my driving). So it might be worth going to see your doctor and having a word with him . xxxsuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 If you have an FAC or SGC you'll find they probably accept it. You would think so wouldnt you? I renewed my phone contract in the 02 shop, the only id i had about my person was my fac as i had just been to the gun shop, i thought on the way back kill 2 birds with one stone. They would NOT accept it as a form of id, the bloody planks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
