Dissolution Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 How did you get it in 50 minutes? There's that ridiculous compulsory 2 hour video... And crazy queues. I'm assuming you paid for it. Took me from 6.45am to 4.30pm, including medical/photo-taking/wait time/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Dude Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Took me two days to get my first one as I took the test. Got my five year one in about 5 minutes. took me about one hour, including stupid colour blind/reactions tests& photo's. No Video/medical needed. Did'nt ask to see IDL just full UK DL. First application for Car AND motorbike licences, so it lasts one year and I think subsiquent renewals will be 5yr type David (in Surin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matter Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 It takes approx 1 hour for your first 1 year licence as long as you have all the documentation in place. If you do not have a licence from your own country (or at least an IDP) then you will have to sit a written test and do a driving test, so it will take a lot longer! The 5 year one is basically just a transfer of details and printing of the new licence and therefore is a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'll take the booby prize for this contest. Without checking the exact time, since I needed a special medical exam, it took about a week both times, even though I had home and IDL's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 sure would be nice to know absolutely whether a letter from the embassy or a document from immigration (OR BOTH) is required to verify location of residence...seems like this requirement, like the financial/income requirement for non - imm visa extensions, is a matter of the whim of whatever 'official' one happens to be dealing with at the time... include the time it takes to obtain either (or both) of these documents and the DL processing time increases significantly...better to let the BiL drive and enjoy the ride...
