Hi folks,

I submitted my application for a provisional driving license and received it today.  I had to send an original form of ID and sent my BRP (instead of my passport, thankfully).  I received the provisional driving license today, but my BRP wasn't returned with it.

What do I do?  Has anyone had this happen?

TIA!

It is standard practice to return your identity documents separately.

It will be returned separately.

You should receive your BRP within 3 weeks of receiving your licence.

From the gov.uk website (at the bottom: https://www.gov.uk/id-for-driving-licence):

Get your documents back
You’ll get your driving licence and identity documents separately.

Include a stamped self-addressed special delivery envelope if you want your identity documents returned by special delivery.

Contact DVLA if you don’t get your identity documents back within 3 weeks of receiving your driving licence.

I bet it arrives either tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

I am so confused and since you passed maybe you can help. I know I need to send my BRP but I need to send another form of ID? What kind of ID?

As far as I am aware you just need to send your BRP.

Where does it say you need another form of ID?

I read the original post wrong because I am ridiculous and get so worked up about these things. I read that they sent an original form of ID and a BRP, not a BRP as a form of the original ID. Thanks for replying!
