I do appreciate your replys. It is really helpful. I am going to give it a try and send a hard copy application form filled in and signed to DVLA along with a letter from the home office stating the right of work, national insurance number letter, payslips, bank statements as proof of address and of...

Thanks for the reply.

Yes this is what I am going to be doing.

Thanks for your reply, I don't have an international DL I am afraid.

I am just wondering if I can fill in the form and post it to DVLA along with other documents.

Thanks again

Hello everyone,

Can someone tell me please if a visa sticker (LLR 2.5 yr) can be transferred from an expired foreign passport (or about to expire) to another newly-issued one ? and How?
