driving licence

[twizzle]

Im going on holiday to spain and just remembered that both mine and boyfriends driving licence have our old address on them. We now dont have time to send them to dvla to get them changed and our car hire is booked. Is this likely to be a problem? Or can i go to dvla in person?

I dont think you can go to the DVLA and just turn up........
I have done this before but in France...and they either didnt notice...or it just doesnt matter..so long as your photo matches your face!!!!!
try contacting the car hire company to make absolutely sure ...

just be warned that the wrong address on your licence carries a �1000 fine. I have a friend who was caught and fined for forgetting to change his address.

The hire company may ask where your credit card is registared to, this is when they may notice the different addresses. They usually ask for proof of address too, so they will notice when your licence differs from a bank statement etc.
