Hi guys thanks for the Info very helpful! Just a quick question I already have a full car driving licence, in part 1 of the d2 form under "I want provisional entitlement" there is 'first entitlement' and 'additional provisional entitlement' and I'm not sure which box is the right one to cross but in your video you missed both boxes so does that bit not need filling? Any info would be great
Hi Christopher, thanks for reaching out! Let's say you want to drive a bus, that would be the first entitlement box you tick for 'D'. An additional entitlement would be if you wanted to add Lorry 'C' just in case for the future! Realistically the DVLA aren't too picky! You can cross/ tick all of them and they will put onto your licence what applies.
Very helpful, just picked up my D2 and D4 today! Just need to make an appointment at the doctors to fill in my D4. Then I'll be booking in for my 8 day course C1.. Which all includes the medical, theory tests and cpc etc. Can't wait!
Thanks very much for the video, really useful. I currently have class 3 via grandfather rights and would like to apply for my class 1 and class 2 provisionals. When I passed my motorcycle test in 2008, there was a phase where DVLA would 'lose' entitlements and you'd have to prove you had them to get them back. Clearly taking a photo of your DL front and rear before sending it off would be a good idea, but have you heard of this 'lost entitlements' being an issue nowadays? Thanks!
Yes this still does happen and we do advise for students to take photocopies or photos of their license. This is even happened to one of our instructors. Thank you for your comments and your kind words.👍👍
Im looking to send my application off. Is it worth sending now or should i wait til November in hope of getting the class 1 added on it aswell? Then i can go straight for class 1
Best thing to do is send it now it's gonna take some time for the processes to be sorted out and for the training schools like ourselves to work out how the process will go. To go from car to C+E, 16.5 meter and and 44 tons from a car does not have road safety at the top of the list. Therefore our process map will need to reflect this and this still will be a category C element to the training.
@@NationalDrivingCentre thanks I don't plan to go straight into class1 just thought might aswell pass class 1 straight away as it will work out cheaper ? Rather than doing class2 then 1. Then I plan to work in class 2 for 6 months then see how I feel and hopefully jump into class1
Hey there Thanks For this Video I have One Question I have Just Passed My all C+E Tests But I am Really confused Which Form I have to fill And Which pass Certificate should i Send To DVLA For My full Lorry C+E License please tell Me how to send It and Which form and certificate I have to send to dvla Thanks
Thank you so much for your comments👍👍 so the next step would be completing a D2 form, in section 1 category e I want to exchange my license after passing my test just enter the category you pass in that slot and then you will send off your blue certificate, your driving license and the D2 form to the DVSA. Hope this helps.👍👍
Hi, thanks a lot for the illustration and the very valuable tip at the end. My question is if I sent the my cat B driving licence, am I still allowed to drive my car while it is with the DVAL or should I wait until the DVLA return it?
Yes, you can make this application. However, please be very careful, I'm not sure what road knowledge you have and this needs to play a big part in your driving career, moving forward. also trying to find work could be tricky because you have not had your category B for that long, experience could be against you. But nevertheless, you can still pass and gain your categories. 👍 if you have any questions, please give us a call. Thanks very much for your question.. Kind Regards Paul 👍👍👍
Thanks for the great video!!! Just got a question. The D4 form says the medical report is only valid for 4 months from the date of examination. Does it mean I have to pass all the modules within 4 months?
No. Once the DVLA have your paperwork i.e. D2 D4 this will last as long as the provisional will last on your license. You can then complete the modules within that time frame. Hope this helps.
There would be no reason to do this as I will have it on record. You would probably need to tell your employer when your license checks are carried out. 👍👍
Thanks a lot for the info .....Just a quick question I am from Spain and I still dont have GPs asigned , Iwould like to now if it is nescesary to fill out or I just have to say that I don have GPs yet.....Thank you again for all your help.
So from what you’re saying crossing all the boxes on categories doesn’t really matter, just a bonus when you think about it! So if I cross all the boxes is it a first entitlement or additional provisional entitlement?
This would be your first entitlement for these vehicles. Although we have had students tick additional provisional entitlement and they still got it back.
This would be an additional provisional entitlement 👍👍👍👍 don't forget to take all of them. It doesn't hurt, and you never know you might wanna go drive a bus someday. 👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre my GP filled my D4 group 2 medical form and didn't tell me if I pass medical or fail.. she tick on neurological disorders (Yes) and Psychiatric illness (Yes) with resolved depression. My question is my medical passed? Will my lorry or bus driver application fail? Please do advise.
Hi there, thanks for sharing this useful video. I have a question. What will I receive after sending my D2 AND D4 plus my driving license to DVLA? Will I receive my driving license again or they issue another new one? I've checked on different websites but I couldn't find any information about it. Many thanks
You will receive your original driving license back and it will look the same. But when you check online, under the provisional section you will now have a Cat C entitlement.
Thanks for the videos guys. One question, I passed my LGV license back around 2000, I let the medical slip years later as I thought I wouldn't need to use it again. I now want to do my HGV training and filling in the D4 form it states 'date first licensed to drive a bus or lorry', I do not remember this date nor is it on my license anymore for referral. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
I filled the forms following this video. 3 weeks later, they returned my license. It's the same license. They just issued a new one without the EU logo. No provisional entitlement was added. D4 and D2 not returned.
Unfortunately not, You can not do the theory until you have the provisional entitlement on your license and you will need to have your license with you when you go for your theory.👍
@National Driving Centre I sent my licence away and it came back looking exactly the same with no dates is that normal I did then go on to pass my theory test but then things changed now I want to go on and do it over again but I wanted to know how long the provisional lasts for as there are no dates on my card
A great question if it's on the D4 don't worry about it the doctor will complete the D4 if you haven't passed that category yet then just leave that blank.
Thanks so much for this video! I'm hoping to do my PCV training in the near future and this really helps! One question however - for the D4 medical do you need to do that with your GP, or can it be done with any doctor?
Thank you so much for your kind comments. This can be done with any doctor, the best thing to do is Google driving license medicals in my area. As your Doctor could be very expensive and very busy. 👍👍👍
@National Driving Centre D4 booked in for next week! One other thing - in section 1a do I need to tick 'First entitlement' or 'Additional provisional entitlement'?
@@thomaspalmer1019 This will be an additional but if you tick first there is no problem make sure you tick Truck and Bus. It doesn't cost any more and you never know.🤔👍👍👍👍👍
Hi thanks for the video, I already have the D license and want to apply for provisional C license, Do I also need to send my driving license? And do picture is necessary? Thanks
Good morning David, Thank you for your question. Yes you would need to send your licence for the provisional Cat C to be added, you should not need to update your photo at this stage.
As long as the DVLA have only specified medical than that should be fine. If you're renewing your Photo card, then you will need to complete a D2. 👍👍👍👍
What about section 5 and photo, are you saying that we don’t have to send any identity document, since I already have my car license, as well as the Photo.
I got a D2 and D4 form from the post office. I'm 55 and renewing a class 2 licence I've had for 25yrs. I sent the D4 off, but was I supposed to also fill in the D2?
@@NationalDrivingCentre Thanks for replying. I'm 55 and an idiot. I had delays 5yrs ago, so wanted to get ahead of the game and apply early this time. I went to the post office, asked for a D4. They gave me a D4 and D2 in the same envelope. Reading through the D2, it appeared to be for provisional purposes only, so I didn't fill it in, thinking I only needed to pass the medical. I had my medical, sent it off (foolishly not by recorded delivery) and have heard nothing for 5wks. I panicked and arranged another medical and went to the post office for another D4. Again, I got the same D4 and D2 set, then went home. On arrival, I found a letter from the DVLA. I hoped it was my new licence. Unfortunately not. It was their official reminder, with a D4 and a D47P inside. I rang the DVLA on Monday and was told that I have to fill both in. There's also no record of anything arriving, so I don't know if they got it or not. Looks like my time will run out.
Thank you very much for this helpful video. I done my medical examination and I did applied for HGV provisional licence and looks like by mistake I applied for bus provision licence or it was mistake in DVLA I’m not sure. I did tried to contact them directly or email them but unfortunately they never get back to me. My question is do I need to go for medical again or just send them new D2? Thank you very much for your help again.
Thank you for the video! I have a questions for you 🤔 I already have got a full UK driving license, category "B". I would like to apply for a "D" and "D1" categories. I send to DVLA - D2 and D4 forms and my Full UK driving license, is it correct? And I should apply for additional provisional entitlement? Don't understand this point 😢 And what documents DVLA will be send back to me?😊
Good morning Alex, thank you so much for your question. Yes, that's correct, you will send your driving license with the D2 and D4 forms fully filled out. I would absolutely tick all the entitlements, even though you may not be thinking about driving a truck or a lorry. You never know what might happen in the future so take all the categories (D1, D, C1, C & C+E) it doesn't cost any more money to do this, and you never know what might happen. I hope this helps. If you've got any questions, please give us a call. Kind Regards Paul 👍👍👍
hey , thank you for the video , but if im going for a provisional cat D do i need to send in my actual FULL UK driving licence ? as i havent passed my test for cat D as of yet but will hopefully in the near future , thank you.
Thank you guys I passed my hgv class 1 very easily just by watching ur helpful videos. after passing test sending dvla. pass certificate and d2 form, my question is do i must need to send driving license also to upgrade categories? Because i need my license with me for next 2 weeks. So just wondering if i just send d2 form and pass certificate will be enough?? Thank you again
Hi.... just need to confirm I am applying first provisional entitlement D1(minibus) and I have full UK photo card driving licence(B). Do I need to fill section 7 ( your decoration) and checklist on the left..... most appreciated and thanks for helping everyone
Just sign the declaration and you are all good! The photo stays the same as the licence you are sending. Unless you want to change. Then you pay, have to sign, attach etc
Hi, I will be sending my forms off next week after I get my medical done. One question tho, do I need to go to the photo booth and get a fresh photo taken? Or will my driving license be enough when I send that off with the forms? Thanks
Thank you so much. The best thing to do is go onto Google and search driving license medicals in my area, this will bring up the best results and will be a lot cheaper than your GP.👍👍👍👍
Hi! On the D4 form, the grey section I need to fill out it mentions half way down “date first licensed to drive a bus or lorry”. I’m just applying for a provisional so I’m not sure what to put for this! Thanks in advance!
This would be First entitlement. The main thing is to tick the Lorry or bus categories. So if you did tick additional I don’t think this would be a problem.
Do they send a separate provisonal license? I got my normal license back and Im entitled on the government site but I haven't received anything else to confirm it.
Hi guys, sorry if you’ve already answered this just want to be sure before I send forms off tomorrow. This is my first time applying for a provisional lorry license, is there a fee for this or is it free if I already have a GB driving license
Hi thanks for video I have provisional licence of category C and C1 around 9 months ago. Know I want to add C1+E provisional do I need to do medical again
Sorry so you say you have the provisional for C and C1But hav you Passed? If you have passed the test for the C1, then you would gain the provisional for C1+E. if you have passed the test for the category C then this should be the same case. The best thing to do is go online and do a license check yourself on the government website to see if you have the entitlement if not then the medical should still be live.
Hi, I am doing my cat c and e next month and I was issued my cat C provisional before 15th November 2021. I have emailed the dvla with the additional entitlement and have received the short form email, but since then my home address has chanced since the Cat C provisional was entitled to me, my course is in a couple of weeks so I don’t really have time to send of my license again. Will they look at this? Thanks
This should not be a problem. If you pop on the website you should be able to update your address details on there. However they will issue a new driving license with a new issue number. This all depends if you still have access to your old address because the problem you have is, if you pass, your license will be sent to the old address as opposed to your new address. When you start the test Examiner will stay. Is this still your home address on your license it's at that point you could declare that you have changed addresses and once you've passed you will update the DVLA details. Sorry I know this sounds a bit confusing. I hope this helps 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre thanks for the reply, I’ve changed my address already and have my license with my current address. On the short form it says if your circumstances has changed since your provisional was given to you, your entitlement can’t be granted through the short form. I called the DVLA up today and they said it should be fine, it’s more of the case if your medical circumastances has changed recently. So yeah should be all good to go, only a couple of weeks left now 👍👍
That's absolutely correct George once you've got your category C entitlement you can then email the DVLA and they will give you a reference to then give you the C+E entitlement.👍
You should automatically get the renewal form from the DVLA. You should be ticking the box for renewal of category C or C+E. in some cases, you will need to supply a D4 medical form from your GP. If you've got any questions, please give us a call on Monday as one of our instructors went through this form the other day. 👍👍👍 Kind Regards Paul.
Hi, Quick question been 6th week I send off D2,D4 and my uk licence got back my uk license. Should I be expecting provisional licence for cpc before booking my theory test??
Hi Jennifer, when you get your licence back from the DVLA it all updates electronically. The licence will not look any different. So when you get it back you can book, or we can book for you your theory tests :) call us if you would like any more help!
Hello I want to apply for C+E ,so which all boxes I need to cross for applying provisional licence. Just C only or C1 , C1+E. So if I tick all the boxes is there any problem. For truck & buses all together. Let me know please
Hi there can you help i pass mu class 2 about 6yrs ago but never got to use it as a better offer come my way cud i use my class 2 now if not what would i hava to get ....i would obviously get a refresher course
Thank you so much for your question no problem at all you will need to tick additional provisional entitlements and then tick C and C+E. complete this, along with you, the D4 and then you can post it off. All good to go.. 👍👍
This might seem like a strange question, but how do I check if I have a LGV provisional? 2 years ago I sent off for it filling out all forms and sending my photo card. Long story short, i never got it back and the DVLA lost my card so I had to claim it was lost to get a new card, I never did find out if they actually processed my application.
You will need to check them online (www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence). Your license does not show your provisional entitlements , so yes it will look the same.
If you currently have a UK driving license then know you will send your driving license off to initiate the provisional license and this is proof of identity.👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre I just remembered I filled in my digital passport number for them to check my identity. Surely this is sufficient. When we apply for a new licence like I did a year or so ago because of address change I only sent my old licence back once my new one arrived. Just a thought
Hello, I am in the process of renewing my hgv licence with d2/d4 forms. I also need a photo update since it's been 10 yrs, so I attached one in the application. I understand there is a fee of £17 for a photo update. Can I send the postal order of £17 and d2/d4 completed apps in the same envelope or the postal order has to be sent separately to a different postcode ? Also what if I don't send back my old licence, it still has 2 months on it and I need it cos my employer do random checks if I have it on me - company policy. Thank you for a great video!!!
You will definitely need to send your driving license for your application for the provisional, this will be your proof of identification. With regards to the photo there will be a information on the back of the D2 with regards to payment. It could be easier if you use your photo from your passport this is all on the application form for renewal of your photocard, this makes it much easier and you don't have to sending any photos. 👍

Hi thanks for the video, I already have the D license and want to apply for provisional C license, Do I also need to send my driving license? And do picture is necessary? Thanks
Good morning David, Thank you for your question. Yes you would need to send your licence for the provisional Cat C to be added, you should not need to update your photo at this stage.
I just need to do a D4 medical at 45 . Do I need to fill in the D2 application with the D4?
I already have a HGV license class 2
As long as the DVLA have only specified medical than that should be fine. If you're renewing your Photo card, then you will need to complete a D2. 👍👍👍👍
no payments?
That's correct no fee to add the provisional entitlement.👍
What about section 5 and photo, are you saying that we don’t have to send any identity document, since I already have my car license, as well as the Photo.
That's correct because you already have a current UK driving license you do not need to prove your identity again. 👍👍👍
I got a D2 and D4 form from the post office. I'm 55 and renewing a class 2 licence I've had for 25yrs. I sent the D4 off, but was I supposed to also fill in the D2?
You should be absolutely fine with before, if you're just renewing for Age. The D2 is mainly for adding entitlements, change of address and other. 👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre Thanks for replying. I'm 55 and an idiot. I had delays 5yrs ago, so wanted to get ahead of the game and apply early this time. I went to the post office, asked for a D4. They gave me a D4 and D2 in the same envelope. Reading through the D2, it appeared to be for provisional purposes only, so I didn't fill it in, thinking I only needed to pass the medical.
I had my medical, sent it off (foolishly not by recorded delivery) and have heard nothing for 5wks. I panicked and arranged another medical and went to the post office for another D4. Again, I got the same D4 and D2 set, then went home. On arrival, I found a letter from the DVLA. I hoped it was my new licence. Unfortunately not. It was their official reminder, with a D4 and a D47P inside.
I rang the DVLA on Monday and was told that I have to fill both in. There's also no record of anything arriving, so I don't know if they got it or not. Looks like my time will run out.
How come you didn’t fill in section 5 and 6 of the D2 form? Is it not required?
Thank you so much for your comment.
Thank you very much for this helpful video. I done my medical examination and I did applied for HGV provisional licence and looks like by mistake I applied for bus provision licence or it was mistake in DVLA I’m not sure. I did tried to contact them directly or email them but unfortunately they never get back to me. My question is do I need to go for medical again or just send them new D2? Thank you very much for your help again.
No, you can just complete a D2 now they will have your D4 on record.👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre thank you guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I got my license easily and I can recommend y'all to 👇👇
Thank you so much you are very kind well done.👍👍👍
what camera are you using, great quality lighting etc
We vary between GoPros, iphones, everything really!
Thanks for that information mate
You are more than welcome 👍👍👍
Thank you for the video! I have a questions for you 🤔 I already have got a full UK driving license, category "B". I would like to apply for a "D" and "D1" categories. I send to DVLA - D2 and D4 forms and my Full UK driving license, is it correct? And I should apply for additional provisional entitlement? Don't understand this point 😢 And what documents DVLA will be send back to me?😊
Good morning Alex, thank you so much for your question. Yes, that's correct, you will send your driving license with the D2 and D4 forms fully filled out. I would absolutely tick all the entitlements, even though you may not be thinking about driving a truck or a lorry. You never know what might happen in the future so take all the categories (D1, D, C1, C & C+E) it doesn't cost any more money to do this, and you never know what might happen. I hope this helps. If you've got any questions, please give us a call.
Kind Regards Paul 👍👍👍
hey , thank you for the video , but if im going for a provisional cat D do i need to send in my actual FULL UK driving licence ? as i havent passed my test for cat D as of yet but will hopefully in the near future , thank you.
Yes, you will need to send your driving license. This is your proof of who you are. 👍
Thank you guys I passed my hgv class 1 very easily just by watching ur helpful videos. after passing test sending dvla. pass certificate and d2 form, my question is do i must need to send driving license also to upgrade categories? Because i need my license with me for next 2 weeks. So just wondering if i just send d2 form and pass certificate will be enough?? Thank you again
A very good question.
You, must send that of with the D2 and you pass certificate.
👍👍
Good Evening Team,
That's a nice way to introduce how to fill n fulfilled the license process. 🙏👍👌⭐💯🇮🇳
Thank you so much👍👍
Hi.... just need to confirm I am applying first provisional entitlement D1(minibus) and I have full UK photo card driving licence(B). Do I need to fill section 7 ( your decoration) and checklist on the left..... most appreciated and thanks for helping everyone
Just sign the declaration and you are all good! The photo stays the same as the licence you are sending. Unless you want to change. Then you pay, have to sign, attach etc
Do I need to give my passport details on D2? Or just chucking my licence in there is enough?
Just the licence is enough Mathew 😃
Hi, I will be sending my forms off next week after I get my medical done. One question tho, do I need to go to the photo booth and get a fresh photo taken? Or will my driving license be enough when I send that off with the forms? Thanks
Because you send off your driving licence David, no need for extra photos 👍🏼
Thanks for asking this question
How would i pay if i was sending my d2 form to the DVLA?
Its free to apply for your first C or D provisional👍👍
Hi great video wheres best to book my medical (croydon area)?
Many thanks
Thank you so much. The best thing to do is go onto Google and search driving license medicals in my area, this will bring up the best results and will be a lot cheaper than your GP.👍👍👍👍
Thankyou
Very helpful explanation. Thank you
No problem. We hope this helps. Good luck👍👍👍👍
Hi! On the D4 form, the grey section I need to fill out it mentions half way down “date first licensed to drive a bus or lorry”. I’m just applying for a provisional so I’m not sure what to put for this! Thanks in advance!
Hi Leah, this doesn't apply to you as a first timer so you can leave it blank 😊
Do you have to put a x in the first provisional entitlement and fill the categories wanted or additional provisional entitlement etc
This would be First entitlement. The main thing is to tick the Lorry or bus categories. So if you did tick additional I don’t think this would be a problem.
I was disqualified in 2016 for a DG10 offence . I now have my full driving licence back . Will this affect me getting my c1+e first entitlement?
No this should not have any affect on the application.
Hi, do I need to send a photograph of myself with the application. Thanks
No the DVLA will use the photo on your current driving license.👍👍
Ive just received my D47PU form for my renewal for car/lorry licence. Do i need to fill out the passport section of the form.
Yes they can normally complete this to gain the electronic photo. 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre so i don't need to fill out the passport part, but i have to send an updated photo as well 👍
Do they send a separate provisonal license? I got my normal license back and Im entitled on the government site but I haven't received anything else to confirm it.
No, it will on line only. No more counterparts.👍👍👍
Hi, I hold for now D cat. , what I should mark to get a assessment only on class 2 and short 5 days course class1?
You would need to tick the box for C plus E on the D2 form. 👍👍
hello, guys!
i don't have a UK licence. i got full B EU licence. do i need first to change my licence into UK before to send the D2 and D4?
thank you!
Thank you so much for your comment.
Hi guys, sorry if you’ve already answered this just want to be sure before I send forms off tomorrow. This is my first time applying for a provisional lorry license, is there a fee for this or is it free if I already have a GB driving license
its free
Thank you so much for your comment.
Hi thanks for video
I have provisional licence of category C and C1 around 9 months ago. Know I want to add C1+E provisional do I need to do medical again
Sorry so you say you have the provisional for C and C1But hav you Passed? If you have passed the test for the C1, then you would gain the provisional for C1+E. if you have passed the test for the category C then this should be the same case. The best thing to do is go online and do a license check yourself on the government website to see if you have the entitlement if not then the medical should still be live.
Hi, I am doing my cat c and e next month and I was issued my cat C provisional before 15th November 2021. I have emailed the dvla with the additional entitlement and have received the short form email, but since then my home address has chanced since the Cat C provisional was entitled to me, my course is in a couple of weeks so I don’t really have time to send of my license again. Will they look at this?
Thanks
This should not be a problem. If you pop on the website you should be able to update your address details on there. However they will issue a new driving license with a new issue number. This all depends if you still have access to your old address because the problem you have is, if you pass, your license will be sent to the old address as opposed to your new address.
When you start the test Examiner will stay. Is this still your home address on your license it's at that point you could declare that you have changed addresses and once you've passed you will update the DVLA details. Sorry I know this sounds a bit confusing. I hope this helps 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre thanks for the reply, I’ve changed my address already and have my license with my current address. On the short form it says if your circumstances has changed since your provisional was given to you, your entitlement can’t be granted through the short form. I called the DVLA up today and they said it should be fine, it’s more of the case if your medical circumastances has changed recently. So yeah should be all good to go, only a couple of weeks left now 👍👍
I want to apply for c+e (44 ton artic) but there’s only C, C1 and C1+e available, what should I tick? Cos I believe C1+e is just a 7.5t with a trailer
That's absolutely correct George once you've got your category C entitlement you can then email the DVLA and they will give you a reference to then give you the C+E entitlement.👍
Hi how do you renew your hgv class 2 driving licence having some difficulty with form selection thanks mate !
You should automatically get the renewal form from the DVLA. You should be ticking the box for renewal of category C or C+E. in some cases, you will need to supply a D4 medical form from your GP. If you've got any questions, please give us a call on Monday as one of our instructors went through this form the other day. 👍👍👍 Kind Regards Paul.
Do I cross first entitlement or additional provisional licence ?
This will your first for Cat C or D.👍👍
very clear & helpful
Glad it was helpful Matt!
Hi, Quick question been 6th week I send off D2,D4 and my uk licence got back my uk license. Should I be expecting provisional licence for cpc before booking my theory test??
Hi Jennifer, when you get your licence back from the DVLA it all updates electronically. The licence will not look any different. So when you get it back you can book, or we can book for you your theory tests :) call us if you would like any more help!
Are the hgv rules changing from this year so you can now go straight to class 1 instead of having to do class 2?
"Sometime in 2021" is what gov.uk's advice currently states, yes, but as yet there is no date.
Thank you so much for your comment.👍
Thanks mate for help
No problem at all. Thank you so much. 👍👍👍👍
Hello I want to apply for C+E ,so which all boxes I need to cross for applying provisional licence. Just C only or C1 , C1+E.
So if I tick all the boxes is there any problem. For truck & buses all together.
Let me know please
A great question, No problem at all, just tick them all even bus (you never know). 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi there can you help i pass mu class 2 about 6yrs ago but never got to use it as a better offer come my way cud i use my class 2 now if not what would i hava to get ....i would obviously get a refresher course
Thank you so much for your comment.
Can I book my theory as I wait for my provisional entitlement or I have to have the provisional first
A good question Asad, You must have the provisional category for that vehicle before you can book the theory test.
Hello wanted to ask I have my pcv license already and want to get my hgv license how would I fill this form out please help thanks.
Thank you so much for your question no problem at all you will need to tick additional provisional entitlements and then tick C and C+E. complete this, along with you, the D4 and then you can post it off. All good to go.. 👍👍
This might seem like a strange question, but how do I check if I have a LGV provisional? 2 years ago I sent off for it filling out all forms and sending my photo card. Long story short, i never got it back and the DVLA lost my card so I had to claim it was lost to get a new card, I never did find out if they actually processed my application.
Thank you so much for your comment.
Hi. I was sending d2 with d4. after a week I got my driving license, but there are no selected categories that I applied for!
You will need to check them online (www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence). Your license does not show your provisional entitlements , so yes it will look the same.
@@NationalDrivingCentre thanks for your help 🙂
Do I not need to do the proof of identity part then?
If you currently have a UK driving license then know you will send your driving license off to initiate the provisional license and this is proof of identity.👍👍👍
If we go GP what should they check just ayes test or anything else thanks
Thank you so much for your comment.👍
Can I keep my licence when sending off the forms. I will need it in the interim when I go on holiday abroad and hire a car.
Sorry Jay. No this is your proof of ID. You will need to send it.👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre ok will have to do it after my holiday then.
@@jaycordner3890 Have a great one 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre I just remembered I filled in my digital passport number for them to check my identity. Surely this is sufficient. When we apply for a new licence like I did a year or so ago because of address change I only sent my old licence back once my new one arrived. Just a thought
Hello, I am in the process of renewing my hgv licence with d2/d4 forms. I also need a photo update since it's been 10 yrs, so I attached one in the application. I understand there is a fee of £17 for a photo update. Can I send the postal order of £17 and d2/d4 completed apps in the same envelope or the postal order has to be sent separately to a different postcode ? Also what if I don't send back my old licence, it still has 2 months on it and I need it cos my employer do random checks if I have it on me - company policy. Thank you for a great video!!!
You will definitely need to send your driving license for your application for the provisional, this will be your proof of identification. With regards to the photo there will be a information on the back of the D2 with regards to payment. It could be easier if you use your photo from your passport this is all on the application form for renewal of your photocard, this makes it much easier and you don't have to sending any photos. 👍
How long does the provisional/medical last for? What if I decide not to take the test for 5 or even 10 years after getting the provisional?
Provisional lasts until medically you have to renew. So many years depending on age! Medical is 4 months.
Hi great video I’m car license holder and want to do category c class 2 for section 1a it says first entitlement or provisional entitlement do I cross any of those boxes or do I just cross category C box . Feedback would be appreciated many thanks
Hi there! If you tick all of the boxes on first entitlement including PCV (Cat D) the DVLA will put all vehicle categories on there :)
Hi. I need to renew my full bus licence , let run out owing to changing jobs to 7.5 ton. Now looking to move up to HGV what box’s do I tick to do all at the same time please
Thank you so much for your comment.👍
Can you claim your medical payment back?
Sorry, not sure you'd have to check with your company. 👍
Hi, Can I tick all the category boxes if I’m under 21
Yes, tick them all. 👍👍
How many days it takes to receive the card after applying?
2 weeks
Mathew is correct. This is about the average.
Do you have to send your licence off with your application if sending p60 as proof of identity?? I need my licence for something else while waiting ten weeks for application to go through
Thank you so much for your comment.👍
So just a quick question I have done my d4 completed. So do I have to put the d2 and d4 in same envelope and post it ??????
Yes D2 and D4 go together along with your driving license and then send them off.👍👍
I have a car licence but would Like to send the d2 and d4 for a c1, I have ticked all the boxes for provisionals. Do I need to send Identify documents with my driving licence photocard? Thankyou
Sending your licence with the application forms should be all that the DVLA require.
do you have any driving centre at south wales for C1
Unfortunately not, we are based in Croydon south London👍👍
MY DRIVING LICENSE AND BUS ENTITLEMENT EXPIRED JULY 2021 I HAVE THE D2/D4 PAPERWORK ONCE I FILL IN DO I THEN BOOK A MEDICAL
Yes so you will complete the D2 and your doctor will complete the D4 send this off to get the entitlement.👍
Hi, I need to get medical for my C licence application ....I don't want to use my GP because of the £150...where can I find a medical you were talking about on ur video...
Thank you so much for your comment.
I need to renew my D and D1 licence, but I want to apply for an hgv provisional at the same time.
Do I put a cross in all boxes on question 1A or just in the additional box? and do I put a cross in question 1C Bus or both(bus & Lorry)?
Thank you so much for your comment.
Hi, I sent my hgv licence for renewal because its expired - can I drive a lorry while waiting for my new licence to arrive?
Yes, as it states on the DVLA website, whilst waiting for the paperwork to return, you are still covered 👍👍👍
Hi mate
Ive got my medical for bus coming up in 2 weeks
Ive been given a d4 form to take to my medical but no d2 form
This has all been set up by the bus company
Will i be given one on my medical or ??
You will need to take the D4 with you to the medical however the company should give you the D2 for you to complete if not pop to the post office and get a set of forms to complete yourself.👍👍
Do I have to declare a fixed penalty and 3 points on the D2 form? - even though obviously no court involvement?? 🤔🙄
No, thats fine Adam.👍
Help. I don’t have a GB photo card license cause I’m applying for my first one. But if I give in the second application will everything be fine
Thank you so much for your comment.
