Driving License
I have a full paper license and need to change my address only. I am moving back to the UK next month and was wondering if anyone has any advice about whether I should wait till I land in the UK to get paperwork or is it possible to do from USA without sending a passport? Has anyone had experience changing address with forms online.. I don't want to send my passport from the USA as worried about it getting lost. I would appreciate any thoughts .. Thank You

Re: Driving License
The process is very easy & quick. But, as JG points out, you cannot do it until you are resident in the UK. I did it in the UK via snail mail, enclosing a new photo, a photocopy of my passport, and proof of UK address (probably council tax letter, I don’t remember.) I had my nice new driving license in a few days.
