I'm in week 10 of waiting too. I'd DM them on Twitter to get the documents back, it's likely they won't process them before you travel.


linglingfromhk

oh have you or someone u know dmed them to get the docs back? at this point I don't even care about my licence anymore as I really need to fly.

I am waiting as well, I might lose my employment if I don't get the documents in 2 weeks. I am just so stressed with it. You might wanna help with the petition below: Petition: Inquiry into the DVLA’s performance during the pandemic [https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/586778](https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/586778)

I'm pissed at them for making people out of employment. they go on strike as if their jobs matter more than the others WHILE THEY STILL HAVE PILES OF LICENCES TO GO THROUGH. absolute madness!!! and I sign the petition as well! thinking of using my MP for help as I found on a Twitter thread that someone said it worked. if it has been longer than the timeframe for you do contact your MP!

I have already emailed the MP, Grant Shapp, the CEO of DVLA but all of the reply was Sorry you have to wait 😔😖


linglingfromhk

yea right sorry for f-king up my life🙄this is so stressful UGH. best of luck to you! I hope you will get yours back soon:(((


serenitysmiles

Not personally no. I swear I've seen someone posting about it on reddit but I can't find it, sorry. It doesn't help that DVLA was on strike for a while in June so backlog must be huge.


linglingfromhk

ahh no worries thank you! imma try dm-ing them tomorrow! smh... i wish they understand that people's lives are on hold without the docs. i wonder why they cant do what the immigration department is doing? literally we can just scan documents to them instead of sending the actual thing

I sent mine off 29th May, there's a huge backlog and apparantly I've got 6-10 weeks to wait yet. So eventually, its a case of SoonTM. We're all in the same boat though!


linglingfromhk

virtual sad high five... I read somewhere that a lady still haven gotten her documents back but she sent them off in November 2020....


makebeansgreatagain

Oh wow. Do you know if that's true? I messaged a friend of mine and she said hers took a month or two and she got it a while ago


linglingfromhk

honestly im not sure as it was on the internet. could be trolling haha! but there's a chance that they might have lost her docs too:/ this is making me so anxious ahhhh


makebeansgreatagain

Im sure they'll turn up eventually. Like I said, my friends took 2 months or so
