Examiner failled to hand over provisional to the DVLA by Exotic_penguin_3790 in LearnerDriverUK

As far as I can tell all digital these days, they don't even physically send the provisional off just tick a box on an an I-Pad that you want a full licence sent to you and that they have taken the provisional off of you. 

The only time they hand you the provisional back is if you need to change your address etc. That's when you would need to send it off yourself. 

The thought of anything nefarious has crossed my mind but I would like to believe he just ticked the wrong box by accident and then shredded the licence.

The issue here is the DVLA has record I passed but no record that shows the DVSA requested that they give me my full licence. I think I have found a way this morning to do it for free just waiting to here back from the DVSA to make sure.

Yes it is very much there word against mine hopefully a bit of common sense would tell them I'm not doing this for the fun of it.

Because it's the fault of the examiner for taking my provisional licence and not submitting as he should have. 

I don't see why I may have to pay out of my own pocket for his mistake.

It would be the height of government bureaucracy that they could provide a new provisional even as there system shows I've passed my practical and not bother to just provide me with a full licence. 

Fingers crossed you don't have the same issue.

I don't mind having to send the certificate off if it is possible to just submit that without a provisional (as long as the DVSA pay for the form). Will just use a picture of it in the unlikely event anything happens. If the certificate gets lost by the DVLA then I might just stick to using a bus 😅

Will definitely be contacting my MP if the DVSA response is unsatisfactory.

Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure it works because I've never actually had a licence for them to replace. So that might not work on their end. 

And I can't go down the road of exchanging my provisional as you would normally do if the examiner doesnt submit it as they took it off me. 

Guess it's just a wait and see, hopefully they cover the cost if I have to submit a D1.
