Changing name AND address on driving license

pinkshoes

I have moved house and got married, so need to change both my name and address on my driving license.

I can find online how to change the address, then how to change the name, but not how to do both at the same time.

Any suggestions?

Paper driving licence holder
When changing your name or address (or both) you’ll need to:
complete a D1 'application for a driving licence' available from the DVLA form ordering service or from any Post Office® branch
provide original documents confirming your identity
enclose a passport type photograph and your driving licence
send all your documents to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BN or use the premium checking service at selected Post Office® branches or DVLA local offices

Lost or stolen licence
If you’ve lost your driving licence, or you don’t have one or both parts of your photocard driving licence you’ll need to apply for a replacement and notify any changes at the same time.

No idea if either of those are still valid. Full list of current options are at https://www.gov.uk/browse/driving/driving-licences

You could also try contacting them.

PS - congrats on the marriage. There are 3 rings in a relationship ... Engagement ring, Wedding ring, Suffer ring

I have had a look through those, and the address change is straight forward, and will be sent in the post, but then it will still leave me with the wrong name on it.

I guess i can then send off the change of name form and do it in two steps, but it seem such an inefficient way to do it!

I went to post office for the exact same thing you are trying to do.

You need to change name and then change address on form. If you go to your local post office they will give you the correct form and you can do both on the same form, as long as you put relevant paperwork in with the form when sending back to the dvla.
