Update your Driver’s Licence

Motorists are being warned that failing to update the details on their driving licence could result in as much as a £1,000 fine.

All drivers in the UK are required to let the DVLA know whenever information like their name, title and address changes – even if only temporarily, like students moving into university halls.

Many drivers, however, forget to update their address on their driving licence when moving house and in doing so could risk a very costly fine.

Comparethemarket.com last year suggested that 1.5 million drivers in the UK have incorrect address information on their licence, despite it being a legal requirement and being free to update with the DVLA.
