I am applying to replace my driving licence but am having doubts that the site I am using is the real DVLA

Where did you get that from?

That doesnt seem to be a valid url for the dvla.

[THECORBYLOON]

Who is that addressed to?

Both the links posted are genuine Barry. Yours is not.

Barry I've just done my husbands this morning and it is not clear on Google which site it cosher. However, the Government Website is the only one I would recommend, and it will cost you £14 to renew.

This is the DVLA home page. I used this very link to renew mine and that of "She who must be obeyed".

You can only do it that way if you are under 70 ( which I'm sure you are Barry ) ;o)

[Togo]

If the renewel is for an over 70 replacement it is free.

[THECORBYLOON]

APG, your link is to renew a licence and mines is to replace a licence. BARRY wants to replace his (although he might mean renew).

[AuntPG]

Barry -replace or renew?

[youngmafbog]

CORBY, it was meant for the OP.

Thanks all, sorted now

Just for info:
Each government department and/or agency (such as the Department of Health, H M Passport office or the DVLA) used to have its own website but still with a URL ending in 'gov.uk'. Then someone decided to bring everything together under the 'Gov.uk' banner, so that there's a common layout used throughout. (That, incidentally, has been a total disaster, in my opinion. It's now far harder to find accurate information quickly).

The link given in Barry's post is the old DVLA web address. i.e. it was perfectly genuine but has now been superseded by the links provided by others on this thread.

not being a great or repeat govt website lurker
I found the 3w- gov - uk easy to use
the letter telling you to renew give the proper one

renew and replace - are different ! even for an ABer

I had for some reason get a difft licence when I was 68 1/2 and then have just done 70 old baggaz licence which has its own site
need passport and NI no
very straight forward
all the computers that should or artta hand-shake, do
no instances of throwing ALL your data and telling you to start again
and no instances of recycling you to a page where you have made a mistake - only it isnt and the mistake is on another page

relative govt form heaven

Glad you got sorted Barry - you now have enough links to make a chain ;-)
