xlornax Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thats what I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelinoz Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yes, lost mine and they would only send the replacement to a UK address. Same with a bank card I needed renewing, Barclays would not send it to Oz. Don't know if all banks are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Do you not need to sign the photo licence bit though when it gets to 2016? we just let ours expire but still have the physical documents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelinoz Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 No I never signed, but mine was a replacement. I got mine through the government gateway website, It links it I believe to your passport signature, if you have one of the new fangled electronic ones. Have a look at: https://www.gov.uk/renew-driving-licence That has a link to the gateway system which is free to use by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelinoz Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Anytime, same procedure if you lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABL275 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yes, we've retained a UK address as it's amazing how many companies don't do 'overseas'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelinoz Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Very true Abl, my daughter is threatening to charge me for the use of her address lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Just watch for insurance if you go back for a visit. MIL just tried to put my OH on her car insurance and they won't do it because we are Australian residents. Crazy given that we still drive on the same side of the road.
