I sent for mine on the Saturday and it was through my letter box for the next Saturday. Not too bad DVLA. :smile:

You know you get the option to not use your passport photo? if i chose that option, how long would it take for me to get it? after i send in the photo separately?

2-3 weeks.

I sent away for mine about 2 weeks ago and last thursday i got a letter back saying i had forgot to answer a question so i sent it back on friday there, my first lesson is on Monday, will it be here??

Just applied and paid for mine online and selected to use my passport photo. But when I got to the end of the application, it said they needed one more thing from me and would be sending my a form to fill in and send back within a week... anyone else had to do this? What is it?

I thought I'd just receive my provisional now after filling in the online form and choosing to use my passport.

It depends. If you have medical issues it can take months/years for them to make a decision. I'm 9 months in so far.

My guess is Tuesday next week. It may not get to the DVLA until Wednesday, then through their mail centre to the relevant office, then they process it and a couple of days to get out of the mail room and get delivered. You would be very fortunate to receive it by Friday/Saturday but I wish you luck anyway.

It will take a few months. I've applied for mine about 7 weeks ago and Still haven't got it so you'll be waiting a long time

You need to contact DVLA, they're supposed to arrive within 2 weeks.
