Competition - post a photo you've taken of nature >>

lost my provisional liscense :(

Title says it all, left my wallet in my Uni canteen today, right after leaving I noticed I never had my wallet on me .. ran back in and it was gone. Hours later canteen nor reception know of a wallet being handed in ... thought people in my Uni were more kind-hearted.

So that's my credit card, money, oyster and provisional gone.
Have cancelled my card, what can I do about my provisional?

I still have the document part, just the green card is gone.
I'm guessing I'll need to pay for another one, but will I need new photos?
and how much would this cost?

Thanks for any info.

Fee is £19 iirc. If we're talking about a UK driver's licence.

All the information can be found here for a replacement.

In particular the passage about a duplicate photocard licence:

If your photocard and paper counterpart have been lost or stolen and none of the details on your licence have changed, you can apply for a duplicate licence by telephone using a credit or debit card. The fee for a duplicate licence is £19.00. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) accepts Visa, Eurocard, Mastercard, Solo, Electron and Maestro. To use this service ring 0870 240 0009, Monday to Friday 8.00 am - 8.30 pm or Saturday 8.00 am - 5.30 pm.

Thanks for the reply LithiumHelios,
it's only a provisional license so I'm hoping it'll be cheaper.

It's £19.

Yeah, you're meant to file a report with the police, if you haven't already done so. Just like if you lose your passport.

I lost mine too.
- Droped my wallet in a club, bang, liecense/cards/buspass/£50, all gone!

This was the day before my test tho. So i had to get speical forms faxed all of the frigging place, charged £20 or so, and a nice letter telling me i cant do that again for the next 3years or somthing!
- Never did get a replament card, just got my full one about a week later.

No. You need both parts of the provisional licence to take the test.
