Bet you can change it online somewhere - have you tried the dvlc website?

Simple, change the address on line. This tells you how: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/NeedANewOrUpdatedLicence/DG_4022088

Do this now, otherwise any correspondence from DVLA (which may include your test appointment letter) will go to your old address.

Yes, you will have to get it sent back to DVLA and get them to ammend your details.

DVLC website is incredibly efficient and up to date. Give them all you new info and you should not have a problem. Good luck

Just have your new address written at the bottom of your counterpart of your licence at the test centre and they will change it all for you when you pass.

Your licence is NOT void or NOT illegal. The DSA however may not allow you to sit your driving test because you have a different address on the licence. If you have BOTH parts of your driving licence (photocard and paper counterpart) then they may allow you to sit the test then take your licence from you but you will have to fill in the bottom of the counterpart licence with your new address. Best thing to do is contact the test centre that you will be attending and enquire with them. Hope this helps.

Yes it is now a void driving document :)

Congrats ;)

Yes you must get it changed, it's illegal to use it.

Hope this helps and have a nice day ;-)
