3 Day motorsport license turn around - what does that mean?

[RacingPete]

Hey all,

Have been a little lapse on renewing my license this year, a mixture of lots at work and then realising when you turn 45 you have to get an eye test and can't just do it online, anyway, that's the racing driver excuses out of the way... the question:

Does 3-day license renewal process mean 3 working days they turn around and then you have to add in postage days. So say I send it tomorrow, and it arrives with them on Wednesday, they process and send it out Friday, and arrives back with me Saturday... or does it mean, send tomorrow, arrive Wednesday and it will be back to me on Friday (the 3rd day)?

Racing on Sunday and trying not to have to go for 3 hours very expensive turnaround?

[RacingPete]

Yeah, fair point on the reliability of Royal Mail.

I will send guaranteed next day I think and then at least by Friday it should have been processed and I can get email proof before the race.

Really paying the stupidity tax here for not sorting earlier

[RacingPete]

Thanks, Geeks, that is an option.

Though sent yesterday on next day delivery and they have sent an email already saying they are processing it, so think we will be good for the weekend.

Just thought when I did mine I got an email that allowed me a certain amount of days with a temp license before you physical one arrives as long as you have that your fine. I'm sure they've seen it before since I did the same a month ago.

You are correct, temp license already issued by email. Great service motorsport U.K.

As I mentioned in the first reply to this post.

Yes, fair point missed

Still wasn’t sure if they take 3 days to send the email, not the 1h 30 they did it in. Which makes me wonder what the 3 hour turnaround gets you? Hand delivered to your door?
