Do you have a local office of the DVLA?   They may be able to start the process quicker than through Swansea?  But, if I were you, then I'd get the process started quickly.  One tip, when the new one arrives, scan it into your computer, and you'll always have a back up version for such emergencies.

Otherwise, I think I'd just do a more thorough search as it's bound to be somewhere in the house!  We find things turn up in the strangest places, but a meticulous and methodical search will usually find anything we've lost.

If you have an accident the police will want to see all your documents which they photocopy! I expect you could be in trouble if you don't have them. Guess how I know?

A mad scooter rider clouted my wife's car in Calais.

He had false plates(and did a runner) so our insurer paid. The police were very helpful but I do speak reasonable french.

Great stuff.  Our local DVLA is very efficient too!

Not for long as they are all due to close, everything will have to be sent to Swansea so watch out and plan ahead.
