    Driving Licence Change of Address
    I've just moved house to a new development and I've tried changing my driving licence address online, but the post code isn't recognised. The DVLA website says it should be updated with new post codes in two weeks, but it's been more than two weeks since I moved.

    The only alternative is to send my photo card and paper counterpart off to the DVLA to amend, but I use my photo card for ID.

    Do I need to update my address as soon as possible, or do I have time to wait for the DVLA website to be updated with my address?
