Just got off phone with DVLA, they say they have no record of me ever passing my test, but they do have the letter on file that they sent me congratulating me and asking me to send my pass certificate off to have the categroy added to my licence WTF?

They said I have to get a copy certificate from the test centre, 8 years of records I hope they have a good filing system

I know what I have got, when I had my really bad off on the motorway a few years ago, I was cautioned for dangerous driving by the fuzz.

I have a statement at home from them which has the box ticket saying that she did a P N C and all my documentation was in place including driving licence, maybe that will help.

Looking at it i dont even have the provisional entitlement on it lol

contact the people you did your training with and they will tell you when you did your test , ring the test centre with the correct date and they will have a record of you and and the examiner who tested you , the examiner with have paperwork from that day in his records which will show you passing or failing (whichever it was lol)

you are quite fortunate that you passed relatively recently , i wouldnt want to be Davep asking them the trawl back 22 years lol

MM,

Copy a letter to your local MP in relation to this. If you can get them involved, the DVLA might be a little less obstructive.

Good luck

MM get in touch with the TV programme the Ferret...this is happening all the sodding time with DVLA at the moment, they are completely useless....

DVLA fuck up like this all the time..and you need your bike for work......

If you get stopped, the computer will show you as having no license...which will invalidate any insurance which means your bike will be seized and you will be left at the side of the road....and you will get a summons to go to court for no licence and no insurance.....

You need to get this sorted ASAP mate....
Get hold of all the relevant information you need, pass certs and anything from when you did your test, that way you can at least argue the point at the side of the road about the DVLA cock up........

BUT, if you get stopped and a name check is done with a driving licence check..you could be screwed mate
