Word of warning to anyone moving house as DVLA issues £1,000 fines

Moving house can be a very stressful time in your life with an abundance of things to remember. Whilst the move itself can often be quite costly, people are now being warned to avoid making a common mistake which can lead to a hefty fine.

Those who are set to move into a new house, or who have already moved, are being urged to notify the DVLA of their change in address. Drivers who fail to give the DVLA the address of their new property could be at risk of facing a £1,000 fine.

This is because your vehicle tax reminder, and any speeding or parking fines, will be sent to the address that the DVLA has on record. If these are sent to your old address and you don't receive them, then missing them could have big repercussions.
