How much does a provisional license cost?

I went to apply for a provisional online today, and the first page I got to said there would be a £19 application fee, plus the £50 DVLA fee. So I went off it and found a different page where it said there would be a £50 application charge and *may* be additional charges from the DVLA once the application is complete.
Now, I thought provisional licenses just cost a one off payment of £50 and then that was it? I'd be using my photo off of my passport so won't need to spend money on getting photos or anything.
Just a bit confused and wondering if anyone who has ordered one recently has had to pay any more than £50 for it?
I'll probably ring them up to ask but can't until Monday now!

Thank you in advance!

Where are you looking? Just go on the DVLA website, don't do it through a third party.

Ah yeah I did think it seemed a bit weird! So it is just a one off payment of £50?
Do you have a link? :smile:

Yes, £50.

If you google 'provisional licence' it's the first link so I really don't know where you got the other sites from.

You can also get an applying form from post office and pay there as well 50 pounds.

Ah yeah. I thought about that but thought it'd be easier to do it online.
