[starrysky]

craigs bride Mine took about 48 hours but it came back as authorised.

dennyboy1 If you are not going til next aug I would just wait until June/July but they say that it can be done up until a couple of days before. Some people wait until the week before others do it well in advance. They last for two years.

Yes it would, the new application automatically over-writes the old one.
