Which is the 'Postal order number' on a Postal Order?

[anonymous-user]

Unfortunately I need something from the DVLA, and because they are stuck in the early 1900's they state I can only pay them by sending them a completed form with a cheque or postal order

I haven't had a cheque book for years and neither have my friends or family so I have had to go to a cash machine, withdraw £120, the hand over the cash to the post office, to be issued a Postal Order.

I now come to enclose it in the envelope to the DVLA only to find they want me to write the Postal Order Number on the form, but I don't know which is the PON?

There is a sort code looking number in the top right hand corner, a long number on the bottom of the front written in that Data type font, and there is a barcode on the rear with a 20 digit number below it.

Any suggestions?

By the way, both the post office and the DVLA can go fk themselves for being so behind the times. What's wrong with filling in an online form and letting people pay by debit card like any other sane organisation?

Thanks

They can't ALL be Welsh?

The receipt they give you has the Postal Order number on it. It matches the long number under the bar code on the back.
