    My photocard Driving Licence has expired. Frustratingly I can’t renew it online as the old address it was issued to, that they sent the reminder to, is not recognised in their awful system. Go to a Post Office, they cry. Hard when all the ones within miles of me have either been shut or don’t have the driving licence service.
    So you hadn't notified them of your change of address? Hardly their fault.
    Oh I received the letter alright. The address exists, the postcode is correct, the reminder was successfully delivered. They sent the reminder there and I got it soon afterwards. But the DVLA system rejects the address that they sent the reminder action letter to. It's just a left hand/right hand knowledge thing.
