DVLA in efficiency shock.....

[GT03ROB]

.....so last Friday realise I'd forgot to change address on driving license after moving 6 months back. Go online give a few details, back comes 1st ever photo card license & new paper copy, no need to send in photo, all for free & received in 6 days.

Have they gone mad in Swansea?

I did the same thing recently... Might have moved 5 years ago though! Turned up in 5 days, which included the weekend.

They have it on the system. Mine is still the pic from when I passed my test at 17, looks nothing like me nearly 7 years later though.

Passport together with signature.

Seriously??

What happened to the usual £20 or whatever the DivyLA charge?

Edited to add clearly says need a debit/credit card

Mine wasn't the pic of my passport, they took it off my original license. Maybe they just go with what is easiest for them to find?

I think an address change is free.....all else is charged.

That's exchanging.....not changing address. The fact I didn't have a photo card before seems to be a loophole
