The DVLA has issued a new warning to motorists, urging them not to overlook a basic but crucial responsibility. Failing to update your driving licence with the correct information could land you with a fine of up to £1,000.

Drivers who have recently moved house — even temporarily, such as for university — are being reminded to check that the address on their licence is up to date. Keeping your details current isn't just good practice — it's a legal requirement that could save you from a costly penalty.
