Should I report a change of address for a driver's licence?

Verified 04 July 2022 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)

No, if you change your address, you do not have to apply for a new driver's licence.

When applying for a new permit, you will simply indicate your new address.

For example, if loss or flight.

FYI  

the address is not indicated on the driver's licence in "credit card" format
