    Have you tried renewing it online?

    I did mine this way and it only took about 2 weeks.

    Renewed my licence on the 6th January, taken 3 days for it to get to me. Used my passport photo (from November 2022 when I renewed that) though so I guess that’s why it was so quick.

    Welcome to the community from me too @paidin :) That sounds really frustrating! Have you been able to renew your licence now?
