Drivers must update their address on their DVLA driving licence, vehicle log book, vehicle tax, and private number plate documents
Experts have warned that a little-known DVLA rule could leave motorists facing a hefty fine this year.
"The DVLA's requirement to update address information extends beyond just your driving licence; it includes your vehicle log book, direct debit for vehicle tax, and private number plate documents. Failing to update these details can lead to significant fines of up to £1,000, making it crucial for all drivers to be vigilant about keeping their information current.
"At Motor Match, we place the utmost importance on the safety and convenience of our customers. We encourage all drivers to prioritise the accuracy of their address details, not only to avoid fines but also to maintain the integrity of their vehicle-related paperwork. Staying vigilant in this regard is an essential part of being a responsible and law-abiding driver.
