If you haven't moved yet but have plans to change your address in the near future,
it is generally advisable to wait until you have officially moved before updating the address on your driving licence.
Here's why:
- Accurate Information: Your driving licence should reflect your current and accurate address. Until you have physically moved and established your new address, it is best to keep your driving licence information aligned with your current residential address.
- Supporting Documentation: When updating the address on your driving licence, you may be required to provide supporting documentation, such as proof of address (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement). If you haven't officially moved, you may not have the necessary documents to support the address change at the time of application.
- Administrative Efficiency: Changing the address on your driving licence is a process that involves updating your records with the licensing authority. It is generally more efficient and straightforward to complete this process after you have officially moved and have all the necessary documentation readily available.
Remember, once you have officially moved and established your new address, it is important to promptly update the address on your driving licence to ensure legal compliance and receive important correspondence from the licensing authority at your correct address.
