Sent off my "green" licence, worried that it had been showing the wrong address for 10 years.
Got it sent back with the 3 points scribbled in it.
Sent a SAE so it came back to the right place.
Make sure you photocopy it before you send it in.

:rotfl: Good move sending the SAE! It is an offence to fail to notify the Secretary of State of a permanent change of address. You get 3 months, not 10 years! If it still has the wrong address on, you should really be sending it off ASAP.If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
Probably varies by police authority.
Nobody checked my insurance as far as I know.
I wrote them a lovely letter in mitigation too and got a standard reply saying I could go to court if I wanted to - I was hoping I might be the only pensioner put on a day's better driving course.
I did once get as far as Q'ing at the Post Office to get the forms for a new licence, with all the hassle of getting some pictures and paying a fee: "Sorry mate we've run out".0 -
I got my provisional license when I was 17 & lost it, changed address 5+ times after that, then in 2004 I decided to learn to drive & sent off for a replacement with my (then) new address, got it no problem with no £1000 fine either.Winnings
