    For over 10 year my Licence was at my Dads address as i moved around so much.
    That way any parking tickets or fines would go to him an I would just send him money to pay them.
    Never had any issues with DVLA.
    Parking & speeding tickets etc don't go to the address on your licence, for the obvious reason that they don't know who was driving. They go to the registered keeper of the vehicle.

    Everything went there, Bank, credit card, phone.
    Covered every base.

    V5 would cover driving matters not your licence.
