Q: Can I replace my card if it is lost or stolen?

A: Yes. Photocard driving licence holders must apply for a new licence; here's how:

1. Report to the Police: If you believe your driving licence has been stolen, you should report it to the police to protect against potential misuse or identity theft.
2. Online Application: The quickest way to replace a lost or stolen driving licence is by using our online services. After filling out the necessary details and making the payment, the DVLA will send the replacement licence to your registered permanent home address.
3. Driving While Waiting: As long as you meet certain conditions, you can continue to drive while waiting for your replacement licence.

Q: How do I change my address on my car tax UK?

A: In the UK, if you need to change your address associated with your car tax (officially known as vehicle tax or road tax), you'll primarily be updating your vehicle log book (V5C) details. Once the address on the V5C is updated, the DVLA will automatically update the address associated with your vehicle tax. If you prefer the online method, use our online service.
