Did you recently get married or legally change your name? Are you wondering how to update your driving licence with your new name? If so, read on! Change of Name in Driving Licence is a fairly simple process and can be done online in most cases. Let's take a look at what you need to do.
Collect Documents Needed for the Name Change
The first step is to collect all the necessary documents that will be required for the name change. This includes an original copy of your marriage certificate, court order, or deed poll certificate (depending on why you are changing your name). Additionally, you will need two passport-style photographs and proof of identity such as a passport or birth certificate.
Get the D1 Form from the DVLA
Next, you will need to obtain a form called D1 from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). You can get this form online or by post—just make sure you select ‘application for a driving licence’ when filling out the form. Once completed, mail it with all supporting documents and photographs to DVLA Swansea SA99 1BN.
Wait for Your New Licence
Once the DVLA receives all of your documents they will review them and issue you a new licence in 10 working days. Be aware that once they receive your application they may contact you if they have any questions about it. After 10 days have passed, check your mailbox for your brand new driver’s licence! Note that if there are any issues with your application it might take longer than 10 working days for them to process it. In this case, make sure to follow up with them directly for more information about what is delaying the process.
