Hey

I have just moved address this weekend, and updated my details online . The DVLA have asked that i return my license to them. Question is - Do i wait before i receive my new license? Or do i send this to them asap?

Thanks

Send the old one after copying it. Then inspect it when you get it back and make sure everything matches.

Keep the old one until the new one arrives, then check it carefully....

You used to have to send it off beforehand, now you can await the new one coming before sending the old one if you do it online.

Really comes down to your choice, the Police, insurers etc can check with the DVLA if needed so not an issue. Only really if you are thinking of hiring a car overseas or going to be buying a new car privately or such is there really an arguement to want to keep it before sending the old one back

Thanks for the advice. I will hang on to it until the new one arrives
