People looking to renew their driving licence in Scotland and the rest of the UK are being issued a warning after a technical error increased both the time it takes to apply for and the price of new documents.A technical error at the Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has affected anyone using recently issued passports to renew their licence, resulting in an extra £7.50 charge.
The hold-up and price increase impacts anyone renewing their licence using a passport issued since 2016. The issues mean that drivers could be forced to visit a Post Office and pay fees that are 54 per cent higher compared to online renewal costs.
Those with a post-Brexit passport have received a pop-up message to explain renewal applications cannot be completed due to their "invalid" document, reports Birmingham Live.Those unable to complete their renewal application online are advised by the DVLA to complete the process at a participating post office for a fee of £21.50.
Postal applications incur a fee of £17 plus a postage fee, meaning they will cost £7.50 more than online applications. Forms have to be picked up from participating post offices, meaning the process can take longer.
