Great video, and I used it effectively. Just to add, I received the form from DVLA after 9 working days. I included the BRP card and a photo (did not get it signed since i was sending BRP card), and included a registered return envelope inside the return forms. I received by BRP card back in 3 working days, and the provisional license 3 working days later. Less than 3 weeks to complete the process (Nov 2022). Thanks again for your tips 🙌
Exactly my point! These are the most important things that we expect from a video like this. I wonder why everyone keeps doing the same thing and not really providing guidance on the most important issues. Thanks Bro
thanks so much @datnaijagirl for this video. As I've only been in UK for 4 months, I was struggling with the term spent in current residence stage and couldn't find how to add my time spent in Singapore prior to this. Another video i watched on this subject suggested to just enter 3 years in your UK postcode regardless of how long you've been here. I didn't feel that was the right way as afterwards it asks you in the application if you have lived anywhere else in the last 12 months and if you say yes to that, you are contradicting what you just stated earlier. I have submitted my application truthfully now so hope my learners license comes through soon :-)
Very informative video. Also had to apply for one. I’m beefing you for passing your theory on first attempt 🥴 I did on my second attempt, thanks to hazard perception I was clicking anyhow in the 1st test😑😅and failed!
Well done! You are doing a good job. For those who have the international driving license which enables them to drive alone in the UK in their first year of arrival, do they also need to apply for the provisional license before they can take the theory test?
Can anyone please explain the relationship between this license, App Driving Test, and any other driving tests? I've not seen anyone connecting the dots. People only talk about them differently. Thanks
@@musa6817 yes hello i did see the tracking but it still says waiting for return i sent it the next day and it was delivered i called them they said it takes between 6-10 weeks so just waiting
I would like to suggest something to you youtubers... When you do a video on a popular topic, don't just do what every other person has done, try and provide some new information, like in this case, when usually is the license expected from DVLA? When will original documents be returned(if submitted)? What exact type of postal service is recommended for return of documents? These are the most important issues. Not just repeating the same type of video that every other person has done. Try and find out what will make your content unique. Thank you
Hi, great video. Did you have to send your BRP card to the DVLA? Seems a bit risky to send the residency permit in the post where it could easily get lost! Thanks
8:55 I have just received my form in the post, I am going abroad on the 18th of May. Will I definitely receive my documents back before that? Today is the 25th of February
I still believe one should be able to use part 5A alone. Because all the information required is online with share code, they can confirm status. Anyone who has used only this an is an immigrant should please let us know
Nice video..Is this the only licences required to drive in the UK or are there any other one needs to get? Can I fill it from Nigeria if I have gotten my UK Visa? I'll appreciate your response.
Hi Uchenna, You can’t fill it from Nigeria as you’ll be asked to provide your current UK address. This is a provisional license. After you pass practical driving test, you will then get the full UK driving license.
Hi Dat, thanks for the content. But wait oo- you mean with Provisional DL, I will have someone sit beside me when driving my car? Old man like me with 10 years of driving experience from home? Someone will sit beside me?
Thank you for the wonderful video. I am an international student who is working towards getting my drivers license and so far I have already gotten my DVLA letter in the mail. And I am trying to fill it up but I noticed that there is a section to fill up for the GB Photocard Driving Licence Number and I have no idea what that is. Do I just leave the GB Photocard driving licence number blank or what? Please help me with this thank you:)
I understand that one can apply for the provisional license anytime in the UK. my question is, do I need to have been in the UK for up to 1 year before booking to write the theory test? please can you confirm this!
Actually I wait already 8 weeks and no news from DVLA so I start to feel dissapointment. I've sent paper version because online is only for British citizents and of course it is reasonable approach for them to take. I want to start a job as an estate agent and I can't because of their super delays. Does anyone is currently waiting for their Provisinal Driving License with paper application instead of online?
Online is NOT only for citizens. It’s the route I took and the route many others that I know also took. Getting your provisional license these days takes an average of 3months so you have to be patient. You can also give them a call
