Re: Passport office LOST my supporting documents!!!!

Thanks for the replies.
They couldn't give a tracking number and I've also contacted Secure DX who confirm they haven't got my supporting documents.

Driving licence

Hi all
I've received my British passport.
Do we need to get our UK driving licence update and how does one go about doing this?
I have dropped one of my forenames too when I got my passport and change my signature.
Does it mean I have to send it my Passport to DVLA?! hope not!!
