Cyprus Driving Licence Lost
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2023 6:09 pm
I left Cyprus in 2021 to return to the UK but decided to keep using my Cyprus licence until it expired in 2024 . On a recent trip to the USA I managed to lose it .
I have been onto the DVLA here ( who by the way have now recovered from Covid and are meeting their targets ) as the Cyprus Min. Of Transport says if you are no longer in Cyprus you need to apply for a lost licence in the country of residence .
The DVLA have advised that I need a Letter of Entitlement from Cyprus and they can then issue me with a UK one as I took my test here ( many years ago ) and they stil have a record of my UK diver’s licence that I gave up to get the Cyprus one.
My problem is I can get no response from the Driving licence department . I’m wondering if one of the people who assist expats to obtain their Cyprus licence might help as they certainly know their way around the Driver’s Licence Department. Can anyone please give me a phone number so i can ask them or indeed have any other idea ? I do have a photo of both the front and back of the licence by the way.
