Getting your new license can also take longer if the DVLA needs to check any of the details of your application. You are allowed to drive without a physical licence in your possession while you are waiting for your new licence to arrive, as long as you have not been disqualified from driving. Yes, it is a criminal offence to change your address without changing the address on your driving licence. That said, students may wish to swap it to their student address if they take their car to university.
You should also change your address for registered trailers and personalised number plates with the DVLA. It is always better to inform the DVLA sooner rather than later about a change of address - but, as long as you do so voluntarily, you will be able to avoid a fine. You'll need the physical licence for your test but they might be able to do something to get around this, if your new licence doesn't arrive in time. Good luck! Hi Ahmed, Your licence will take a while to arrive, I'm afraid.
This is down to the ongoing covid backlogs. However, you can still drive without the licence because you've got your pass certificate. It's odd that the DVLA said they have no record of your pass. Did they explain why that is? Thanks, Sam. I passed my driving test 16 September I still waiting for licence call dvla they said we don't have any your driving test pass record but I have dvla email whn I pass and pass certificate any advice for me wht u do I'm so worried. I've changed the date on my provisional today and have my exam on the 31st of January but I've put my old address, hos do you change the address for your exam?
Thank you. Hi Chloe, It should only take a couple of weeks for a change of address, but the DVLA are backlogged because of the pandemic, so it's taking longer. I've heard of some cases taking 2—3 months, so don't worry too much if it's not been that long yet.
If it has been longer, it'd be worth contacting the DVLA directly. How long does it take to get your provisional back in the post after change of address? Hi there, It's strange that you've been told you can't change the address on your licence. What was the reason given? I've been told I'm not eligible to change my address, even though I need to. Dvla is embarrassing. I'd imagine your licence will be with you soon because 2—3 months seems to be the average wait time, at the moment.
You might be best contacting the DVLA to see what they recommend. Hope it's with you before you go to Cyprus! Hi Moslem, The DVLA are facing a large backlog caused by lockdown, which is why licences are taking so long to come back. I've heard of some cases taking over 3 months, so I wouldn't worry about it yet. Remember you can still drive while waiting for the licence in the post. If you happen to be pulled over by the police, they'll be able to check their database for your licence records.
We need our driving licences to drive while away. Presumably it would be okay to let the DVLA know our change of address after we get back? Hello I changed it my address One month ago but no coming back my driver license Thank you. Hi Henry, Sorry to hear that. The DVLA are really delayed, at the moment, because of the covid backlog. They'll get back to you ASAP with your new licence. Please be aware that we're not affiliated with the DVLA.
They're a government agency but we're an independent intensive driving course company. I did send my driving license for a change of address , I send by recorded diliverly in the post office on the 2rd july.
Hi Jewel, The DVLA waiting times are currently much slower than usual due to the pandemic backlog and industrial actions, so I wouldn't be too concerned with how long it's been. If your licence hasn't arrived in the next week or two, you can contact the DVLA here - gov. I have changed my address on June 3rd trough online and still haven't receive my driving license to new address. And is it normal nowadays? If I don't receive it by this time week then where or how should I contact with Dvla, please let me know know.
They'll be back at work from 14th June, so you'll be able to get a response from someone after then. Hi Laszlo, If you've already sent the application to change your address, it'd be best to wait for it to come back.
Sending another application for a new licence will just confuse matters and make it take even longer, I'm afraid. I imagine it will be with you soon if you've already been waiting a month.
If the licence doesn't arrive a couple of days before the test, you'll be able to reschedule the date. Do I have to change my address on my passport UK? How long does it take to change address on driving Licence UK? What address do I send my old driving license to? How do I change my address on my driving Licence UK? Can you change your name and address on your driving Licence at the same time?
Can I keep my driving Licence in my maiden name? How long does it take to change address on driving Licence by post? How much does it cost to change name on driving Licence UK? Can I use both maiden and married name UK? Can I use both my maiden and married name? How do I get my maiden name back after divorce? Comment by Julie Riseley posted on on 22 June Comment by Michelle posted on on 19 June Glad to hear we can make address changes online. A little overdue but it's good to see responsiveness.
So, we have our next blog idea right here and will link back. Comment by Amanda Sales posted on on 19 June You need this for the v62 form as well. I sent mine in march as my original v5 never turned up when i bought the car.
Been trying for months to get the v5. Cant tax my car without it. Comment by Julie Riseley posted on on 23 June I am sorry our paper applications are taking longer than usual. We have a reduced number of staff on site to comply with social distancing requirements and to ensure staff safety.
We are looking at other transactions that could be made available online in the future and we will consider the V62 application process. Comment by Jorge Barreto posted on on 24 June I sent my partner and mine v5 on 7th of June and nothing back yet. Would be good if we can do that online even if we posted ours v5s too because would be with us in a week time. Comment by External Communications Team posted on on 29 June I am sorry but you cannot use this service if you have already sent your log book to DVLA.
Your paper application will mean you have to wait longer for a reply as there are delays dealing with paper applications sent to our office in Swansea, as they need to be dealt with in person. This is because we have a reduced number of staff in our building to comply with social distancing requirements and to ensure staff safety.
