Driving licence replacement

Hi guys,

Just wondered if someone on here could give me the answer to this.

I have just moved house so need to change the address on my licence but have lost the paper part, so only have the card part.

And the photo needs renewing too.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

    Fill out form D1 for a replacement (it will cost you £20), you can change your address on the form if I recall correctly.

    Just found the info leaflet

    http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130411225420/http://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/forms/~/media/pdf/leaflets/INF1D.ashx

    The relevant section
    To change my address on my licence

    https://www.direct.gov.uk/ChangeOfAddress

    If you hold a paper driving licence please fill in your current and previous details in section 2 of the D1. You will need to provide your paper driving licence, proof of identity (see section 5) and a photo (see section 6).
    If you have a photocard licence, write your new address in the changes section on the paper counterpart. You must send us both the counterpart and photocard.

    If you have lost your paper licence or either part of your photocard licence you will need to apply for a replacement photocard licence and pay the relevant fee.

    Whatever you do, don't click on the Google ad that comes up on Google search for "drivers license" (etc), there's a scam site that charges £60 and we're all sick of people coming on here to moan about it :p
