Motorists who have changed address must update details on their licence and other documents or risk a hefty fine, the DVLA has warned.
The government department issued a fresh reminder on Thursday in a tweet. According to GOV.UK, drivers can be hit with fines up to £1,000 if you do not notify the DVLA of a new address, as current residential information is required should the holder be involved in an accident.
The rule counts for both full and provisional licensees and applies even if you've only moved temporarily, but not if you can still be reached at your permanent address, like if your'e away for college. It costs nothing to change the address and you can still drive while waiting for an updated licence.
