It happened 2x already when my application form, docs (though photocopy) and other details were lost on the post! .

Now, my biggest fear is sending my original passport to DVLA as a proof of identity. I've got other visa's there as well so it will be a total disaster if ever it will be lost (though i'm just thinking of the worst scenario). What should I do to ensure though that my passport will be returned to me in one piece? How about if I go to Wimbledon, can I request for a recorded/special post there? Need help as my hubby paid for the £50 already.

Many thanks in advance.
I did mine thru post when i applied my Provi lic.They will send it using thier own but I just included a prepaid special delivery envelope for my docs to be returned to be in a safe side even if i pay extra. I always use special delivery and never had any problem with it.

You can apply in person if you live close to the dvla office not just in swansea they have a list in their site that you can find which is closer to your place and you dont have to send the docs by post at all. They will just check it and give all your docs back straight away.

How did your hubby paid the £50?
