Lost my Driving Licence

OK, here is the problem, last month, i lost my wallet in Poznan, it had my card of permanent stay, my UK driving license and the usual bank cards, Bank cards, no problem, new Card of stay, no problem but my UK driving license is a problem, i went to the local city hall with all the paperwork only to be told they must have the original driving license, but i have lost it, i have a copy of my license but they said its no good, i can't get another UK driving license because i don't have a permanent address in the UK, you must have been at a UK address for more than a year to be classed as permanent. I've been in Poland for 25 years.

Any advice would be grateful

How did you manage that?????


Grab a brain mate and be more careful....I just can't get over the fact that you managed to lose your wallet......are you sure it wasn't stolen?

Once I lost my wallet. I believe it fell out my pocket while riding my motorcycle. Its not much fun canceling cards and getting new IDs. About 2 weeks later a small box came from the Post Office with my wallet " fully intact" inside. Someone must have found it and dropped it into the mailbox.

You were lucky!
