Provisional driving license application, put a X in the wrong box on the form

If you read the thread, you’ll see the updates I’ve provided. I’m going to have to wait until the old application form is returned to me. You know, the one that has contained the X in the wrong box. I’ll be sending a new application form to them, one that has no errors in any section, and just include a note to say I’ve submitted a new application to speed the process up because of a previous mistake in an old application.

I have now and apologise for not reading carefully.
Chris1994, were you ChrisSCOPE in another life?

Yes I was. Right now, I don’t think I’ll be staying on the forum.

I only joined because of this matter and wanting to have some opinions.

I'm glad you were able to speak to them @chris1994 and find out what you need to do. I'm not sure how long it will take for you to get your old form back but hopefully it won't be too long. It's so easy to make mistakes on these forms.

Postal applications do involve a longer timeframe and yes, it really is. I misinterpreted the question. I think I interpreted it as, do you need glasses? And no, I don’t wear glasses, and that’ll have been why I put an X in the No box when really, it should have gone in Yes for I can read a number plate from 20 metres and meet the legal eye requirements.
I’ll be staying on the forum until the matter is resolved and I have what I want, my provisional driving license, and that’s only for identification purposes. I have a disabled person’s bus pass but that’s not really an accepted form of ID. Many will have applied for a provisional driving license just to use it as a valid form of ID. You don’t have to have it just for driving.0 -
What would you be doing personally, sending the old form back with your initials next to the mistake, an X in the correct box and a note explaining an error or, sending a brand new form off, free of errors, and a note with that new form just stating that the new application has been sent because of a previous mistake in an old application?

I can totally see how you'd tick the 'no' box. I think I'd do the same as you. I'd want it to be really clear and I think I'd worry that making the change on the old form and putting my initials on it might be confusing.

Indeed, I really don't understand why they're so particular about forms of ID, for one thing, not everyone has a UK Passport which is generally the main thing they accept.

Yes, it would look scruffy to be honest, not have a neat appearance on it. I would prefer the form has a tidy look.
I didn’t write the name and DOB/date of birth of mine on the back of the cheque, and the guidance in the form states to include those details on the back of it. Because it’ll be coming back, I’ll be able to rectify that, and I will be writing those details on the back. It’s not absolutely pivotal. That got me worked up but I was told by them that it’s not strictly necessary, only in case it gets separated from the application.
I won’t need a new cheque to be made, they last for 6 months, and I’m sure even you know this, have knowledge of that.0 -
It’s just how society works I guess. Having some just takes away hassle, makes life easier for those times when it’s requested. I’ll have one of the top 3 forms of ID: passport, a full driving license, a provisional driving license.

Yes it's a good opportunity to add that extra information on the cheque. I feel the same as you about things wanting to look tidy.

Are you aware that cheques last for 6 months? I’m sure you know anyway. My cheque is dated 15 April, just 3 days old. That’s why I won’t need another one to be created.

The amount of £43.00 for a postal application will have remained on the cheque, they won’t have taken the funds from it just because they have to send back the form.

I haven't used a cheque for a long time so I'm not sure if I did know that they last 6 months. It's good that they do so you don't have to go through cancelling one and writing another.

It was made for me in my local Nationwide Building Society branch, using a machine behind the counter. I don’t have a cheque book.

Almost nobody uses Cheques nowadays, everyone pays contactless on their card.
