.We are receiving a high volume of enquiries about driving while your driving licence application is with DVLA. If your application has been sent to DVLA you may be able to continue to drive while we are processing your application, subject to meeting certain criteria.
This applies to most types of application. Please check the criteria to see if you may be able to continue driving by reading the guidance leaflet By law, all drivers must make sure that they always meet the medical standards for fitness to drive when driving.
