<p>The quickest and easiest way to apply for or renew a driving licence is online,
and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)’s online services are working as
normal.</p><p> </p><p>Paper driving licence applications must be dealt with in person
and are taking longer to process as the DVLA has a reduced number of staff on-site
to comply with social distancing requirements and ensure staff safety. Drivers with
a medical condition may experience delays because the DVLA is often reliant on receiving
information from medical professionals before a licence can be issued to ensure drivers
can meet the required medical standards.</p><p> </p><p>Drivers who have submitted
an application to renew their driving licence may be able to continue driving while
their application is being processed, provided they meet certain criteria.</p><p>
