    @GTR_King I've not had a current passport in years and applied online to change my licence address.

    If it's the photocard photo find a post office who do the photos / submission, it will be back in about a week, then change the address online to your new one when you move.

    Remember to change whichever freegle or freecycle groups you subscribe to if you're moving to a different area.

    The lock on your flat door, not the building main door. It's an ex-rental, any number of keys could be around.
