Check Your Driving Licence
Tuesday, 24. July 2018
In the course of a week, I’ve had two clients signing up contracts and having to send off their driving licences with the signed documents, only to find that their licences showed their old address.
There are 1.5 million motorists with driving licences showing the driver’s old address. Whilst this has dropped from 2.6 million in 2014 that’s still a lot of people who could be facing fines of £1,000.
You could be stopped for any reason requiring you to provide your driving licence at which time you could be fined if your address isn’t current. As one newspaper pointed out if the police could find a way to identify the drivers with licences showing the wrong address the fines could provide income of £1.5 billion.
If you find the address is out of date you can renew by following the instructions after clicking on the link below. It is free to change your address and you can continue to drive whilst the change is being processed:
