Lost counterpart and address change

Hi there, i need some advice as to what to do please.

I got rid of my car around 9 months ago, i was living at a family members at the time, so that was the address i had on my license.

When i moved into my new house and got rid of my car i seen no point in changing my address as i still had access to my mail there and had no car.

However, now i am going to get another car, i obviously need to change address, trouble is i have hunted high and low for the counterpart, but to no avail.

Will i need to send away for a new license, then send away a day after recieving it for a address change, or can i do it all in the one go?

I have the photo part still.

I know i should have done it all straight away, but i had a lot on and was the least of my worries.

Thanks for any help.

    You should be able to do it in one go; you'll get a new counterpart with your new card, as they need to have matching version numbers.
  • Thank you very much for the reply.

    This could be deleted now thanks Mods.
