What you need to update your driving licence address

To change the address on your driving licence, follow these steps:


  1. Residency requirement: You must be a resident of Great Britain to initiate the address change process. Note that if you reside in Northern Ireland, there might be a separate procedure.
  2. Provide previous addresses: You will be asked to provide the addresses where you have lived in the last three years. Make sure to have this information readily available when you request the address change.
  3. Ensure valid driving privileges: It is important that you are not currently banned from driving in order to proceed with the address change on your licence.

In order to update your address on your driving licence, you will need to provide the following details:


  • Driving licence number: This unique identifier is assigned to your driving licence. It is essential to have this number on hand when you request the address change on your licence.
  • National Insurance number: Your National Insurance number is a unique identification number used for taxation and social security purposes in the UK. Providing this number will help facilitate the process of changing the address on your licence.
  • Passport number (if available): If you know your passport number, providing it can be helpful, although it is not always required for updating the address on your licence.
