I've looked on the dvla website and I'm a bit confused...

When you need to change the address on your driving license do you need to send a photo, or does the card/paper part suffice?

With mine I just filled a form in, didn't send anything back to them, and mine came through pretty quickly.

I did it about 6 months ago, had to send both parts because they've both got your address on.

If you already have the photocard bit then just send that and the paper section back with the D1 application form, no photo required.

If you only have just the old paper license then you'll need to send a passport type photo as well.

Don't forget to update the V5 for your cars as well...

V5 is the easy part. If you don't fill that out you can't get a tax disc reminder don't forget!!

You can actually be penalised if the address isn't current and they find out.

Although from Bushey's experience looks like they're not too diligent about it. Apparently if your mail will be forwarded its probably ok, if risky.

Best not to take the chance though.

When I sent off my licence for pints I did get a nasty letter back saying please change your address - but I kinda forgot  :oops:

Id just like a whole new licence really - the picture is absolutly repulsive - its ten years old now!!

I'm extremely bad at this sort of thing and at some point, someone or something will bite my arse.

I haven't lived with parents for years, but everything that can be, is always directed to the old dears house! My car's V5, insurance, drivers licence, mobile phones, banks, you name it it's my Mum's house. I give it out by default and never, unless i have to provide my own address.

It just seems far easier, i obviously have household bills coming to my place, but sod changing everything over. I don't know how long i'll live in any one place, so everything, that can be, remains addressed to my Mum's house. Easy peasy.

I would mate. Dunno about changing address but when I lost my license (actually lost it, not got it taken off me I mean) all I had to do was ring up, quote my license number and they sent me a new one within a few days. Really quick.

Post by: Sippo on Monday, December 3, 2007, 22:58:59
How much was it though? Think I can order a replacement on the D1.
