Provisional Licence - Without Passport

[Hyburnate]

Not often I dip into this forum but sort of need to now :/

After sending my uncle round 3 different post offices in chase of a provisional licence form. Now the problem is when greeted with this:

It's saying I need something else along with my birth certificate but I have none of the others, now in the book:

It says I can use my NI letter from DWP. I sort of just want to make sure this will do it, I don't have to tick anything to say I've enclosed it etc. Don't want it to rebound as I could sort of do with sending it off so I can go out on my birthday

Also another thing, will a copy of the birth certificate do, or would it need to be the full thing? If I can't get anything concrete I'll get ring DVLA tomorrow.

Thanks I'm probably being too cautious but don't want it to be sent back :/

**** sake -_- I'm not sure if it's going to demand a passport online. I'm hoping Royal Mail won't **** up. I guess I could do it online, how does it deal with the passport image?

Just went through all the online thing, and in the end all they're going to do is send the form. And when I have a form already it tells me to save time and do it online. Like wtf? First encounter with the DVLA and I already think they're useless -_-

I have, well, I haven't actually. They've stopped issuing NI cards (yes really!). I just don't trust royal mail, if they loose it then I'll be coming after them.

Send it recorded then, like anything important.

No real need too, IIRC royal mail will pay out £45 max for things sent by normal mail non-insured if you fight them hard enough, plus as I did it online and gave my card details there will be no money inside I assume
