    One thing that hasn't been mentioned: is the licence an old or new style one? i.e. is it a photocard one issued after 1999?

    How long does it take to get it back?
    If you're not doing the online application, allow about 20 working days. If you're sending in an old style licence, DVLA will reply to you with procedures for obtaining a new style licence. That separate process will take about the same time.

    Do it online - do it quicker



    Please have the following to hand:
    • your driving licence
    • your UK passport if you have one
    • details of previous addresses
    DVLA will aim to send your driving licence within 10 working days of you submitting your application

    I did this a few months ago and had my new license within a week of returning my old one. HTH

    Oh for crying out loud!

    It.was.a.joke.

    There is a section on the paper part of the driving license for address changes etc.And it costs....

    Change of address doesnt cost anything.... It's a legal requirement. If you need to change your photo or change the whole licence from an old paper style to a new photocard then you have to pay. It was about £17 last time I looked, may have changed since though.
