Graham Perry Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Has anyone had problems getting their new style photo licence yet ? I applied 5 weeks ago and have heard nothing. My brother applied a couple of days before me and was sent yesterday a short term temporary paper licence which very handily runs out the day before MIRA ☹️ The MSA didn't explain why only a temporary licence has been issued. Has anyone heard anything ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlymoFraser Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I had the same problem, with the temporary one which took 7 weeks to arrive there was a note saying that they were experiencing delays producing the new credit card licence but that it would be with me before the expiration of the temp licence. The credit card one arrived 10 days later. R287 Mobile Jaffa Cake- It's black at both ends with a smashing orangey bit in the middle here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardO Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 There were certainly problems just after christmas - about a two week backlog at the photocard printers, plus the usual MSA processing period. No doubt it got longer as the bulk of applications arrive in January & February. You're in good company though: some of the Clerks don't have their licenses either! Now that could get tricky R Edited by - RichardO on 18 Apr 2007 08:37:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I was sent a temporary licence and the new credit card style arrived about a week later and well before the temporary was due to expire. Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ah, so we are not alone then. Thx Guys. I hate ringing them up and moaning as they have generally been pretty good in other years so I will give them a bit more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 And inevitably at 10:31 this morning through the letter box drops my Temporary licence 😬 Should have kept me mouth shut 😔 Still I guess if a few folks are now aware of possible problems.......

RichardO Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The moral is get your application in before Xmas - I've had my new photocard license for months R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I applied less than 5 weeks ago and received the actual licence last week though (as well as the temporary one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl0498 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Guys, RichardO is correct - get your applications in before Christmas! I have had both my CofC and competition licence for months too... I know when I went to a Clerks seminar a month or so ago that there was talk of problems at the photocard licence production house - the licences are done in batches apparently.

Graham Perry Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 I still haven't got my licence so rang the MSA again today to ask what is going on as my temporary licence ran out two days ago and I need one for MIRA next week ☹️ I have to say fair play to them as they have identified the problem with my card and that it is going out to me mid next week. In an amazing piece of joined up thinking that one does not always associate with the MSA they realised that postage of said plastic photo card might be an issue in time for MIRA, so they tell me that in addition they have also put in the post this morning another temporary licence just in case the plastic one doesn't turn up in time. 🥰 🥰 Edited by - Graham Perry on 18 May 2007 12:10:47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Bilbo - as soon as you've sent it, chase them ... I sent mine on a Monday (in hope of it being turned around in time for an event the following Saturday 😳 ) they couldn't do it, without me paying a premium for a 4 day turnaround , which I declined ( the fine for not having a licence at the event was cheaper!!) but I received the actual licence within a week of the temporary one ... and I'm sure it was 3 weeks max ... I'm very surprised they haven't got the sub-contractor probs sorted by now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
