thanks for the reply . . . a harsh lesson learnt and a warrant for some teasing i'd say! not sure what you mean by the upgrade, i assume it s the same category as everyone else who have validated their lisence except he can get the test examiner to do it for him? thanks again for your help

hi, im actualy posting on behalf of a friend who has just been informed by the dvla that he has expired the 2 years time limit to validate his lisence (he did not send in his certificate + documents) and so must re-do his theory and practical test!? initialy i thought he's misunderstood but their web site seems to confirm this. He passed his test 2 years and one month ago. The dvla has record of his theory pass, and excacly when + where he passed his practical, but cannot provide him with a lisence?? this can t be right? he relies on his car for his teaching studies any information / advice would be greatly appreciated
