Cassis Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Just struck me - we've been here 2 years and our UK driving licences still show our old UK address. Should we do something about this?[:-))][:-))]Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandt Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 you can,t change the english address unless to another adress in UK.read up on the dvla website it gives all relevant information.i think you will find the only time you will find that you have to change the license to a french one is if you commit a serious traffic offence . i have been stopped and checked by the gendarmes in a french registerd car and the only comment on the license was positive in that it had a picture on it. they were well aware i am resident as i told them . you can of course change it if you want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-R Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 There is no need. It's legal even if you no longer own your old address in the U.K. Very odd I know. I keep my U.K. licence because I drive a lot of rentals in America and thaey ffreak out at my wifes french licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
