I basically wrote the wrong department postcode on the brown envelope.
Would they accept my application of name change if I just covered the wrong address with a white label & write the correct address on?

Yes a label correcting an address is OK. But maybe not on a prepaid envelope

Thank you for your response0 -
To play it safe, I just blacked out the wrong postcode & wrote the correct one on the envelope itself , I just really worry (I have high anxiety when I do things wrong)

Don't blame the bank for the time it takes.
