Changing address on Provisional Licence
Hi everyone, I moved house a couple of months ago and still haven't gotten around to sending my Provisional Driving Licence off for the change of address. Thing is, I have my test booked now for mid July and am wondering if this is going to cause a problem.
If I sent it off now, would I get my new one in time for the test? If I left it as is, will it cause problems with my details :-/ I'd appreciate any input on this, has anyone had a similar situation? Thanks in advance. |

I recently changed my address on my full licence.. and it came back within 5 days.. I was impressed how quickly it was sorted out.

Excellent. I thought you could only do it via post after reading the back of my paper counterpart. Didn't realise it would be that fast either.
Thanks for the answers and the link guys :-) |

Just to say it wouldn't affect your test if you didn't change. When you ring the DSA they actually update there records. But yeah just to echo what everyone else said, it's be back way before july.

I was in the same situation when i came to take my theory test.
They made me fill the form in there and kept my licence and sent it off for me. Apparently if your address is incorrect (or doesn't match what is on the test booking) the test centre are within their rights to cancel your test. When you change it is quick enough to get your licence back so do it straight away. |
