Passport doesn't include your address, the only address in it is that of your next of kin which you add in yourself, you can just change it by hand yourself.
NSA (premium bonds, savings and such)
Store clubcard like Nectar and Tesco
Catalogue like Kays and Grattan
DWP if you receive any benefits
Council so you dont pay any more council tax for that address
TV Licensing
Police if your on license for murdering your neighbour
G.P.
Dentist
Hospital if you're receiving treatment.
All i can think of at the mo
Any insurance provider you have life, car, home.
Friends and family
Santa
Is it actually the law to change your address on those documents? I've moved so many times in the last few years and haven't changed any addresses (apart from bank).
I find that the best bet is to change everything you can remember, set up a post-redirect which is about £15 for 3 months, then when stuff comes through which hasn't had the address changed, change it!
:yes: Although it only becomes illegal when you drive i.e. it's not illegal to have the wrong address on your license, it is illegal to drive if you have the wrong address on your license. You can get a fine and you can get points on your license for this.
You serious? I think mines still registered at my parents address. I've lived all over though recently and never informed them.
I'm not a 100% sure, but i do think i'm right
ETA Yes, just checked Leigh's license and you do have to inform them of a permanent change of address, or worsening of a medical condtion, or be fined up to £1,000.
Didnt know that :no:
Still i aint got £1000 to my name, so they will have to join the queue if they want money out of me.
They take it in kind. You'll be locked in the DVLA stationary cupboard with 'Big Brenda' every saturday morning until the fine is paid off !
sounds like fun, where do I sign?
You can do DVLA for free online, that is what I did, when incidently, I took my license to station and they asked why my insurance was for up North, but license was for dahn sahf - didnt mention a fine :flirt:
I did the same. Not change addresses until I bought my own house. When I was renting, I was basing most documents at my parents'. Add to the addresses list:
- Electral roll
- Young persons' / Disabled persons' rail card
Sigh.
