@DVLAgovuk Thanks Sue, that’s much easier then - it would be helpful if that was made clear on the gov.uk website, which suggests that it is only possible (whether renewal or replacement) if you have a British passport from which a photo can be used

@stephenogre Hi Stephen, the Post Office can only process photocard renewals. You do not need a valid UK passport to apply online for a replacement licence, when you reach that field you can leave it blank and proceed with your application. Please go to: gov.uk/apply-online-t… Thanks - Sue

@DVLAgovuk is it possible to apply for a replacement (not renewal) licence at the Post Office? Mine was stolen, and I don’t have a British passport so can’t apply online. There must be an easier way than a postal application + posting in my passport given waiting times!

@passportwaiting child passport renewal just approved this morning, following docs received in Glasgow on 28 September. I have been anxiously following these tweets, so hopefully this helps those stressing about going on half-term holidays
