A heads up to all PH.

A few wks back DVLA wrote to me notifying fraud on my DVLA account.

DVLA say they altered the address on my account. They then issued a new driving licence to the new fraudulent address.

They did all this in February 2025, only informing me they noticed the fraud in June 25!

It s worth noting that DVLA take no responsibility for notifying the account holder/licence owner of ANY changes on your account so you will be totally unaware.

Consider this most UK licences won t expire for 10 years or certainly a long time. Drivers won t have reason to check their licence is still registered to their address. It s entirely possible DVLA have already reissued it in your name to a fraudulent address, and you would never know.
Thanks DVLA, what a f ing shambles you are.
