There is no more IDV. Once you submit your application, click on the link on the "further steps" page. Create your UKVCAS account, log in and start looking for appointments. Make sure you check all the centres in the UK. New appointments are released at 12am every day, when one extra day becomes available (28th day from the current date) on a rolling basis. Also upload your documents up to 48 hours before your appointment and make use of the self-submission feature once you have uploaded all your supporting documents. Make sure to click submit at the very end as you can only submit ONCE.
Thanks very much for the detailed answer, super helpful!
One last thing, does it mean that if i book an appointment 28 days from the current date, my application will not be assigned to a CW until then, meaning that i will have to wait 4 weeks, plus the time the CW will take to process the application, so i could be looking at at least 5 weeks waiting time
that's just great, considering that i got my hopes high when i saw ppl here reporting a decision within 2-3 weeks, but i guess they got lucky with getting an earlier appointment right?
UKVCAS are saying "Over the next few weeks, we are introducing more free and chargeable appointments across most of our Core sites so it will be easier for you to find an appointment at a time and date to suit you." not sure how far "next few weeks" is though.
