    What happens next

    Driver's licence and proof of age cards

    • if you have the mySAGOV app - your new address details will be displayed on the digital licence or proof of card straight away
    • you can use your physical card as normal

    Your new address will be printed on your physical card the next time your driver's licence is renewed.

    If you want your new address on your physical licence or proof of age card now, you'll need to order a replacement licence or proof of age card.

    A driver’s licence proves you’re permitted to drive and is not issued for identification purposes. To protect yourself from identity theft and scams, avoid using your driver’s licence as an ID.

    Registration renewals will be sent to your new address, or you can opt to receive renewals by email or SMS.
