Hi.
We want to apply for a Provisional Driving Licence for Rose. On the form it states:
"You can only get a GB driving licence if you are normally resident in the United Kingdom.
To be normally resident you must usually live in the United Kingdom for 185 days in each calendar year. Applicants who are not UK citizens or nationals of another EU or EEA country will not be considered normally resident if they:
• do not have leave to remain in the UK, or
• are in the country on a temporary basis without leave to remain either while awaiting a decision to stay in the UK or following a decision refusing such an application."
After a bit of surfing this seems to be related to applying for a Full Licence, not a Provisional Licence. Rose arrived here in June, so less than 185 days ago, I don't think this is an issue since we're not applying for a Full Licence and she is now permanently resident here. She now has her FLR(M) Leave to Remain. Does anyone know?
Also, can we actually make the application at a DVLA local office? Their website is not clear.
I will call them on Monday, but thought some of you may have been through this already?
Thanks.
