Driving Licence change of address

[spoony]

Any one know roughly how long it takes from sending it off to the DVLA before they return it? Thanks in advance.

Did mine online a couple of weeks ago and had the new one within 3 or 4 days.

Does it cost anything to change your address on your driving licence?

Sure it's a grand fine if you're caught with the wrong address on it too, so well worth changing.

Nah, its free. Just fill in the change of address part on the paper licence and send it to the DVLA with the photocard part if you have one. Can also do it free (and quicker) online but I got fed up with the website and sent it in!

Cheers I better do it online today as it's had the wrong address on for 8 month now!

Aye, mine hadn't been right for the last year and a half.

Same here, but have hired a car for Spain in October. Thought I had better get it sorted to avoid any potential problems at the pick up.
