As I have a medical condition I am on a 3 year restricted licence.Sent off renewal 10 days ago,and was a bit worried about how long it would take to process it.Happily it arrived back renewed in the post this morning ![Clapping hands :clap: 👏](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44f.png)

That’s very reassuring about the V5 for the new van. We pick ours up on Thursday 1st August and Nick made the mistake of reading that it can take 4 weeks. Our 8 week tour leaves on the 27th August. I was sure it hadn’t taken that long last time.Do not recall ever having had problems when renewing licence or change of address etc. Always returned in a week or so.
The V5 for the new van came within a week.

If your dealer has online access. They should be able to give you a temporary certificate for use until the real one turns up. You can allegedly use it abroad!That’s very reassuring about the V5 for the new van. We pick ours up on Thursday 1st August and Nick made the mistake of reading that it can take 4 weeks.

They don’t have online access unfortunately. It was applied for 2 weeks ago so apparently should “go live” on the 1st. I realise about the Crit Air though which is a real pain. It’s an organised tour so it’s not as though we can delay our departure! I stupidly thought that as we had to pay for the van in advance this wouldn’t happen. My fault completely.If your dealer has online access. They should be able to give you a temporary certificate for use until the real one turns up. You can allegedly use it abroad!
Only snag is you need the actual V5 to apply for things like a Crit-air sticker.
Once you get hold of the V5 you can apply for a CritAir online and you get an emailed version to display until your sticker arrives.They don’t have online access unfortunately.

If nothing by the end of September get your MP on the caseHad the medical on the 25th of May, chased the application last week and told it had progressed to the medical team.
Unfortunately they could not say how long they will take to process the application.
