They should be also be told about any changes of address.
Failing to notify about such changes could land drivers fines in excess of £1,000.

If you have moved address and it no longer matches your driving license, you should inform the DVLA.
That relates to any permanent to temporary move, meaning that this also applies to students living in accommodation during studies.
But you do not need to change your address with the DLVA if they can still contact you from your permanent address.
Anyone who gets married, divorced or recently widowed are also urged to inform the DVLA, while those who have bought, sold or transferred a vehicle needs to make the agency aware.
If your vehicle has been scrapped or written off, you also need to inform the DVLA.
Drivers may receive a refund if they inform the DVLA that they are not going to be using their vehicle for a prolonged period of time.
Motorists would have to re-tax their car before they can drive it again.
