Can I use my UK Postbox Address for my DVLA Driving Licence or V5C?

The DVLA requires a residential address for registering both a driving licence and V5C (vehicle registration), prohibiting the use of virtual, commercially provided, correspondence, or PO Box addresses. This policy ensures that the driver’s permanent address is on file, allowing the DVLA, police, and other enforcement agencies to contact the driver or registered keeper directly if necessary, including in emergencies or life-threatening situations.

Additionally, it is a legal requirement to notify the DVLA if you change your residential address and to provide an updated address where you can be contacted directly.
