I agree, Jackson. I recently had to send off for a new driving license with all necessary documents and they have written back asking for more proof that I am who I am

I am concerned about sending said original documents through our rubbish postal system in case they get lost.

Just a suggestion, don't know if it will help, but if you aren't too far from a DVLA office, then sometimes it pays to go and sit there and sort it out face to face. I did that when I needed a new log book and driving licence recently and it took a bit of time, but at least I was able to leave the building knowing that my problem had been sorted out.

That advert about the car tax makes me laugh, there is a car in my road, still being used on a daily basis, that has not had road tax on it since October 2008, and nothing is done about it. I left mine for three days in March because I was ill and not able to get out and had a note left on my window that my car would be reported to DVLA.
