  • Of course they can do it. Have a look at the DVLA web site or click on the attached link to DirectGov. It clearly says you MUST notify them of a change of address. It does not say tell us if you want to.

    How are the authorities meant to contact you if you don’t have the correct address shown. If you get caught on a speed camera or are involved in an accident or incident, there would be no trace of you on the DVLA records. How can they advise you that your tax is due for renewal or your licence needs a new photocard if they don’t know where you live?

    They can also summons you to court and fine you £10 if they want.

  • yes they can.

    You are lucky you didnt get the £10 fine as well!

  • > Can they do this !

    Yes, they can also fine you. You MUST inform the DVLA of a change of address.

  • I believe in most states you have 30 days to change addresses, revoked? I don’t think so!! unless you have something else going on with your driving record.

  • Can they do this? They have.

    What can you do? Park up and apply for a new provisional. Or ring DVLA and see what they require you to do.

  • If you move and do not tell them and then they try to contact you for any reason and obviously you do not respond then they can and will revoke the licence
