Name change on driving licence
After a name change, we recommend exchanging the driving licence (especially when travelling abroad), but it is not mandatory.
Course description

- You can submit the application by post or online
- By post: Please complete the application in full, sign it and send it to us together with the required documents. You can find the application forms under Links and Downloads.
2. Once your application has been recorded, you will receive a notification with your processing number. This will also tell you how to check the processing status online.
3. As soon as your driving licence is ready for collection, you have two options:
