Moving Home/Changing Address

Hi All,
Me and the Mrs are due to be moving out Next Friday - we're moving into my parents for a couple of weeks until we get the keys to our new house.
What am I required to do in relation to changing my address with the DVLA? It's £14 every time to change your address, surely i'm not expected to change address within quick succession of each other?

Your licence needs to have your current address on it.
I believe if you get stopped its a £1k fine. Infact just looked and its the bit in bold on the same page it tells you its £14.00
The risk is yours.0 -
Also remember that changing your address on your driving licence does not change the address on vehicle registration documents - so parking tickets etc may still go to an old address - you have to change the address on those as well0

No, it isn't. It's free of charge to change your address - and don't forget you need to change the address on any V5Cs, as well as your driving licence.Andyjp1 said:What am I required to do in relation to changing my address with the DVLA? It's £14 every time to change your address

It's £14 to change the photo on your photocard at the same time as an address change. Do you want to do that?

No change of photo, just address.
Thanks0 -
So there y'go. It's free. It says so on that gov.uk page - were you mis-reading it, or were you looking at a scam site?0

I've clearly mis-read - im tired - its early lol1

I've not heard of anybody being fined for this at all (the £1k is a maximum, not a standard penalty!) and I can't see a court enforcing it if you're clearly in the midst of moving house. I presume you're getting mail redirected?0

Yes, all mail directed - i've instructed the RM0

Can I ask what you're doing about the gap? I'm in the exact same position, moving out in 3 weeks and then moving into my parents for 2 weeks before I get the keys for my house. I wasn't planning on changing any addresses etc until I moved in but I'm not sure what to do about the mail redirection. Can you redirect it twice...?Andyjp1 said:Yes, all mail directed - i've instructed the RM0 -
you can cancel a redirect and set up a new one.HummingBird76 said:
