DVLA database says Provisional even after passing the driving test?

I passed my Driving Test yesterday and got the pass certificate too but when i view my license online, it still says I hold a provisional license. Is that normal?

When i enter my details on the above website, it still has me under a provisional license holder. Does it take time to update or should i be worried about this? The examiner took my provisional license with him.

Government websites can be very slow to update records. The great news is you passed your test. Your (former!) driving instructor, if you had one, can give you an idea how long things normally take to appear, or you can ask the test centre themselves if you are able to contact them easily. If not, wait a while - receiving the actual driving licence, however, is not always quick (your pass Certificate will suffice for now)!
