Driving licence for type 1 - how long did it take you to obtain one?

Hi,

Hope I'm in the right place to ask the question. I basically want to find out how long do I have to wait to obtain driving license if I'm type 1 diabetic.

Me and my wife are planning holiday in US, road trip in California but I just realised that I just can't use my Polish driving licence without additional driving permit so I recently applied for the UK replacement. I'm worry now that I won't receive it on time, before our holiday.

Any experience with dvla and driving license application?

thank you for all the answers in advance.

Thank you Indiana

I just have to hope that my DV will arrive before 08.06

did it take longer than 3 weeks? dvla website says that it usually takes up to 3 weeks, but now I'm worried that I won't receive it before my holiday.

I still have a hope, I will call them tomorrow and check the progress. Btw anyone knows if I can cancel my application and receive back my original driving license?
