Note for others - apply for digicard beforehand as it can be gained with just a car licence
That saves the wait post test pass
Anyone’s guess. They can be exceptionally quick or exceptionally slow. But usually it’s pretty quick tbh.
I applied for my first tacho and posted mine off last month and took about 2 weeks and half to get back to me. However I’m still waiting for my license to come back with my category C entitlement added to it , sent my licence and pass test certificate off straight after I passed the cpc mod 4. That was just over 3 weeks ago and still has not been issued , the DVlA have been on strike recently so I imagine it doesn’t help in processing the application.
Seems like a lottery, my son passed C recently and had a new licence in less than a week.
I renewed my driver card just after they had been on strike, was irritated that there is no facility to do it online and as no longer have a chequebook to post the form back I was forced to ring them and renew it with a card over the phone. Had a half hour hold time getting told how Covid was slowing them down.
When answered the renewal was quick and simple and new card arrived two days later.
I can’t understand why they don’t offer online renewals, it’s not much different to taxing a car online just a couple of reference numbers and payment and job done. It would free up staff for other enquiries.
SA99 is a strange place.
Cheers for all the replys guys got it back this morning so i can now get out driving cannot wait.
Stay safe all take care

They are doing an online trial now, it’s due to go live in July so I’m told. I used it today to apply for a first card and was done in less than 10 minutes. This was after spending ages on hold trying to get through to them on the phone yesterday.
