i have just been informed that the DVLA have no record of me since 2000 I passed my test in 1998, and got caught by a speed camera twice in the first two years so had to re do my test. This i done in 2000 and got sent a new licence. I have lost the licence and have also got married and moved house so i got in touch with the DVLA to see how i go about making these changes and they have no record of me. i am 32 and have nightmares about having to do these two tests again. has anyone got any advice from me. i must say im gobsmacked that this has happened to so many people.

Make a subject access request under the data protection act to DVLA to ask them to check their databases for any information they hold on you. Give them as much information as possible, including old addresses.

thanks for writing back. I have already done that, gave them my addresses, date of birth, maiden name the lot. Im gutted, having to do the tests were bad enough enough before let alone 10years later.

Do you by any chance remember your driving licence number, or have an old photocopy of this?

They _should_ be able to find you from this.
