Drivers and Proof of Address Don't Match
Have you recently moved which means your proof of address doesn’t match your drivers licence?
It is a requirement not only of our insurers but also a law that your drivers licence be registered to your current address. We will need these to match in order to add you to our insurance. You therefore have the following options:
- Apply Online
- Apply By Post
1. Apply Online
Change the address on either:
- your full driving licence
- your provisional driving licence
It does not cost anything to change your address with DVLA.
You can still drive while you’re waiting for your new licence.

! You can be fined up to £1,000 if you do not tell DVLA when your address changes.
Visit the DVLA/GOV.uk website for more info on how to apply.
2. Apply By Post
You can also change the address on your licence by post. The process is different depending on whether you have a photocard or paper driving licence.
It’s taking longer than usual to process applications sent by post because of coronavirus (COVID-19).
Things to note:
- Ensure you take a photo of the front & back of your drivers before posting it off.
- We may need to refer you to our insurers for approval. This may take 2-4 working days so please ensure you do this as soon as possible.
