    I know that a question like this has probably been asked in the past but the search tool isn't working for me today for some reason. I also tried looking it up on the oasis.gov.ie website but still could not find an answer.

    I have recently passed my driving test and I was wondering how long does it take to receive your Full Driving Licence after you apply in the Office?

    Depends on how you apply for it. I did it by post to Wicklow Co. Co. 4 years ago and it took 6 weeks to get to me :rolleyes:. Did it (walk-in) in Nutgrove later on after I moved back to Dublin and it took less than two weeks.

    Is cork the only place where they process your application if you call in and give you your license there and then?

    I got mine done on the spot in Nutgrove, it was a renewal/update of categories and he asked if I wanted it done then so I waited 5 minutes while he processed it and printed/laminated the new licence right in front of me.

    Really it's no wonder they're a pice of piss to forge, pink paper through laser printer, photo stuck on with tape and the lamination done by hand.

    Must have been recently? If so, this is good news that they're doing them in-house instead of sending them to Shannon or wherever.

    I also recently passed a test, well, passed the test over a month ago, recently sent in for the licence. It spent the first tow of the last three weeks sitting on somebodies desk because they had been doing training.

    It took six phone calls and four days to get it.

    It would probaly still be in there in two years time had I not kicked up.

    Last year, don't really know why as a month earlier I had got a provisional the usual way; applied in person, licence posted out a week or so later. AFAIR it was posted from Dublin though.

    Nutgrove is closed so it wasn't recent.

    Policy is no on the spot issues unless proof of foreign travel or v.soon test date.
    They are posted as proof of address.

    The length of time is v.dependent on back log. Nutgroves closure is having a knowck on effect in all other offices. Nutgrove will reopen midseptember.
