Sending Driving Licence Back

[PinkGin24]

Does everyone actually send their old one back cut up when they get a new one? Are you meant to send it tracked delivery? What happenens if they say they never got it?

No, why do they need it back?

They ask for it back when you apply and you have to tick to agree that you will.

Oh I see. I don’t remember sending mine back.

No, never bothered sending mine back.

I think I read somewhere it is a legal thing but never heard it to be enforced. I sent h’s back - it’s hardly difficult to cut in half and stick in an envelope. Why would you need the old one anyway? It only adds to clutter.

MrsPear I don't need it, but I also dpn't wanr to pay for it to be send back tracked. Hence asking what happens if it goes missing in the post?

I recently changed mine (and DH).

Just cut them in half and stuck them in the regular mail - no recorded delivery or anything. I guess most must make it though.

@PinkGin24, just get a proof of postage certificate from post office (costs nothing) then, if it doesn’t arrive, you have proof you sent it to them. That’s what I’m going to do with mine - which I need to send back as new one arrived a few weeks ago!!

I cut mine up for security and mailed it regular mail. I got proof of posting from post office so if they ever asked I had it. They never asked.

I just sent it in a normal envelope, no proof of posting or anything.

I sent mine back once and they took some categories off me...

Luckily work wanted a copy of my driving licence every 6 months (photo copies) and I had the emails, after a bit of a fight I got all my categories back!!

Now I have a copy of it phone in case it ever happens again.
