I know, I know, it’s like doing one sit-up and suddenly your whole body hurts. But trust me: your V5 and driving license addresses must match. If you change the V5 but not the license, you’ll get confused mail and the police will raise an eyebrow during a traffic stop. The good news? Changing your license is also free and online. Do it right after you drink your celebratory tea. Pair them like socks and shoes.
One More Thing: SORN
Is your car off the road (Statutory Off-Road Notification, or SORN)? If you change your address, don’t forget to update the SORN too. Otherwise, the DVLA might think your car is haunting its old spot. You can update the SORN at the same time as the V5. It’s like a two-for-one deal at the boring-but-necessary store.
