Payments

The DVLA aren't responsible for any money which goes missing whilst sending payments to them. For this reason they ask that you refrain from sending loose cash, bank notes or blank postal orders.

Any payments you make by cheque / postal order make payable to DVLA SWANSEA and remember not to post date any cheques as these won't be accepted!

Don't forget to sign and date any cheques/postal orders making sure that the correct value wrote in words is the same in figures. On back of any payment, write your full name, address, and D.O.B. and driver number if known.

If you send the incorrect fee - under pay, then your application will be returned to you for correct payment.
