Hope you’re well. Has anyone renewed their driving licence during lockdown? If so, how long did it take to arrive? I know there’s a back log at the DVLA but does anyone know if it’ll be longer than the usual 6 weeks?

You may be disappointed, there is a big backlog in postal applications due to social distancing restricting the number of staff. Presumably online renewals are dealt with by staff working at home so are not affected.

I had to do mine on paper as I’m also epileptic, and send back my old licence. I was waiting for the usual waste of time at the GP’s while they ask if you’ve ever been hypo or had a seizure. My licence appeared today after 2 weeks, and no medical?

That’s really reassuring to hear! I’m glad you got it all sorted really quickly. Mine was sent over 3 weeks ago and I’m still waiting, which is fine because it usually takes about 6 weeks before I hear from them.
