How to change the address in your driving
licence in Ireland

accountable for the traffic norms and
regulations. It states approval of you being a
skilled driver. When applying for the licence

residential address, you provide the address of
the residence you live in at the time of

If it does so, it is a responsibility to update
the new address on the licence. The ramification
of not doing so is having a licence with invalid
information on it. Not everybody understands the
gravity of holding a licence with invalid
information. Let us put it like this, the
previous occupant of the house you currently live
in has not updated the address in the
licence. On one fine day during the first hours
of the morning, you have to involve in the line
of question by the Gardaí regarding the
involvement in criminal activities or related to
reckless driving. This is the last thing anybody
would want an address erratum.
