It probably will not affect many of the people who have used this site over the years - however a word of warning.

My wife was sent her 10 year licence renewal form, as such not a problem as you can renew £14 online Or £17 through the post office.

So onto the site that says licence renewals. All in all, very useful guiding you/I through the different sections including "Government Gateway". Feeling very satisfied having gotten through the instructions I nearly pressed finish :oops: In fact I tried to cut my finger off as I saw the monetary figures mentioned that had risen to £20 for the licence..............................and a further £75 :shock: :shock: :shock: for admin charges....... making a very unhealthy £95 #-o

So do not be blasé in clicking on the first site that you see that refers to "Licence renewal", that just so happens to be at the top of the page..........take a bit more time to make sure that it is a proper "Gov" site

A couple of years ago friends of ours thought they were ahead of the game and paid £200 for visas to visit America. They received the green "visa waiver" forms that, at the time, were given to you for free on the plane. They had also used one of these "official" looking sites.
