Re: DVLA - probably daft question...

Thanks for all your answers everyone. Looks like I'll just use a relatives address and get it changed.

Do they really punch a hole in your UK one when you get an Aussie one?

Have a good flight pioneer and ladywithatorch...!

You then request a replacement from the UK which is delivered via the nice redirection service ;)

Good luck anyway.

Maybe its just a VIC thing but they do put a hole punch through your UK Driving licence here.

If we do need it again just advise DVLA of the new address otherwise its just a "souvenir" of a previous life :)
