Hi everyone,
I recently discovered that I lost my paper version of my UK driving licence, which is a massive pain it the arse. I have tried to renew it from HK, but the DVLA wrote back saying no way, no can do, because I am no longer a UK resident.
I am hoping to drive a hire car in the UK in November and I know the companies like Hertz need to see the card and the paper version. I just called the British Consulate and they said yeah, basically, you're stuffed, you can' t renew it from here as you are no longer UK resident.
How annoying????
Is my only chance to pretend that I still live in the UK, and use my parents address as my contact? Maybe that will work.....any ideas greatly appreciated....
