Bridgeman Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Just wondering what happens about your UK driving licence if and when you move back to the UK? Do you need to inform them when you move to Oz and what happens if you go back to the UK and the licence has expired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaPesa Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 All I'm doing is changing my address with DVLA to my sisters address here in London. She'll let me know if anything comes from them but, in theory, licences don't expire until you're 65. (I think sometimes you have to update your photo but I'm not sure). However, you may need your licence if you plan on swapping to an Aus one..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LojaChica Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My Licence has expired (as in the date on it) I contacted DVLA and they won't let me renew from Australia! So when I go back to Spain via the UK not sure if I can drive a hire car or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LojaChica Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks everyone for the tips. LocaChica can't you drive on your Australian licence? YES................I'm sure I can BUT I have a "Q" class condition on my Aussie Licence so it is renewed on a yearly basis and therefore is only valid until Jan 13! I'm just trying to be organised and look ahead at the bigger picture! Apparently it's just my photo that's out of date on the UK one and it doesn't officially expire until the date on the back according to the DVLA Email so I'm now off to hunt for my UK Licence and check the date..................Goodness knows where it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
