APPLY BY POST:
You can apply by post. You can get the D1 application form from the Post Office, or the DVLA form Ordering Service by clicking HERE. When you send the D1 form off you also need to enclose the original documentation showing your identity, a passport style colour photograph, and the fee. The address to send the application to is:
DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1AD.
APPLY IN PERSON:
You can apply for your licence, in person, at a Post Office. They
will charge you an additional £4 for this as it is classed as a ‘premium service’.
Along with your application, you need to bring your identification, photograph and
required fee. Staff at the Post Office will then check your application while you
wait, return your ID to you and then send the application to the DVLA.
You can also apply in person at a local DVLA office. They provide the same service as the post office at the same cost, but they do not accept credit cards as payment.
