CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS HERE
​
You need:
  • your Government Gateway ID - if you don’t have one, you’ll get an ID as part of your application
  • your driving licence
  • to be a resident of Great Britain - there’s a different process in Northern Ireland
  • to give the addresses you’ve lived at in the last 3 years
  • to not be banned from driving

Provide your driving licence number, National Insurance number and passport number if you know them.

If you need to change your name at the same time, you’ll have to apply by post.

You must also change the address on your vehicle log book and vehicle tax Direct Debit (if that’s how you pay).

If your new postcode isn’t recognised

You’ll have to apply by post if your postcode isn’t recognised on the online service.

If you’re moving abroad

You can’t register your new address on your British driving licence. Contact the driving licence authority in your new country of residence.

How do you get
You’ll get a confirmation email from DVLA after you’ve applied. You might be asked to take part in research by email, but you can opt out.

Your updated licence should arrive within one week if you apply online. Contact DVLA if it hasn’t arrived after 3 weeks.

Attention:
It doesn’t cost anything to change your address with DVLA.
You can still drive while you’re waiting for your new licence.
You can be fined up to £1,000 if you don’t tell DVLA when your address changes.
