According to the RHA, the DVLA has warned that paper applications, including those that require additional documentation after an online application, are expected to to be processed within 6-10 weeks. In addition, it is said that there may be delays in the processing of more complex transactions such as the medical investigations.
The RHA warns that it has received numerous reports from members stating that drivers are not getting their licenses renewed in sufficient time to allow them to drive. This is especially true for drivers doing international work.
