The DVLA has issued an urgent warning to drivers who have moved home in the past few years
The DVLA has issued a significant warning to drivers and vehicle owners who have recently relocated. The authority took to Twitter, now X, to remind road users about the importance of keeping their documentation both safe and up-to-date.
However, there's no need to inform them about temporary moves, such as for university stays, provided they can still contact you at your permanent address. While awaiting new paperwork after an update, individuals are still permitted to drive. Direct Debit details for vehicle tax must also be adjusted with the DVLA after an address change. Owners of private number plates not currently on a vehicle need to update their V750 or V778 documents, reports Birmingham Live.
