..anybody done it recently online?

Says I have to sign up to some government thing. Is it easier to do it via a post office form, or just sign up to this process?

I'll be honest I can't remember, I kept putting it off but when signing up for contracts and things having the wrong address on didn't help

Car is still registered at my mum's address

You'll have a government gateway log in if you do your tax return online for example.

Cheers pal, making me feel much better

Phoned up this morning, and explained to the woman, she said you'll just have to wait for the new licence to come out, and then re-apply with those details. She also said "That was a bit silly"

the daft part is that they are actually going to waste the time and money (albeit not much) sending a new licence to the address that it is already registered?!

I just filled out the paper part of my driving licence and sent that away with the photo card part. New docs came through a week later!

Do you have to send the V5 away too?
