I passed mine 30th of August and waiting for mine still too. Meant to arrive on or before 21st of Sept but I don't really mind as long as it arrives before October when I go back to uni as I want ID lol

Oh i hope so! I’m keeping an eye out this week for the post, hopefully fingers crossed for us both ha ha🤞🏼🤞🏼

Well done on the pass to you too! Just out of interest when in August did you pass your test?

Ah yeah because I think you can check your driving record online which I did and it still says I have a provisional. The bit that must take the longest is actually them registering the fact that you've passed your test and updating their records, sending you out the licence itself must be the quick part! I'll only phone them up if it doesn't arrive in the three week time period as it gets closer to when term starts then and id like not to use my passport or anything else as ID ...

It's processed and dispatched on the same day - it's just making the way through the queue that takes the time.

Yeah fair enough, thought something like that would be the case!

I passed on the 23rd so today is the end of the three weeks and I still haven't received my license, not surprised due to how busy August is for them.

Fairplay to you for sticking at it and not giving up, you fought and battled a hard long journey you hold your head high no one can take your licence away from you now. You are the definition of percaverance. most people would have thrown in the towel (I known person whom took them 9 times - not putting him down don't matter how many times takes only need pass once).

As you know and everyone knows It's very frustrating when don't pass and have wait 3weeks for your next test slot to come round.

You be proud of your self massive achievement girl long u stuck at it and hey U got there congrats!!, everyone gets there, not a race. An instructor once said students who fail again and again make the best drivers on road.

I don't like boastful people (smart asses) who are more concerned about how many attempts it took you to pass test - I always say HEY! grow up! YOU WERN'T born! with a steering wheel in your hand, only need to pass once that's all that matters.
