From Paul Uden, a previous post:

With all the rain today I finally got round to checking, and then changing, my wife's driving licence address on the Trafico (DGT) website. You are supposed to do it within 15 days. I was able to do it online with her digital certificate and also had to download the 'autofirma' app to sign it off at the end of the process. I then got sent a document to confirm the change. The website highlights potentially two address changes needed, one for the fines etc to be sent to, if necessary, and the second for the car tax. I didn't need to do the latter because the car is not in my wife's name and it is already registered to the correct address. I'm not going to say it was simple doing it first time, but if I ever needed to do it again it wouldn't be so bad. There are lots and lots of clear instructions on the website about how to do everything, but I did end up going round in circles a bit. Proud of myself for finally getting it done though!


Perhaps he could help you

Well, it would also be helpful if- since you seem to think that the previous post will solve the problem- you could put a live link to that entry. You obviously have it, I searched for it, but that's a bit hit and miss, and I missed.

That’s quite a rude response to someone who’s simply trying to help you! Chris has suggested you could contact the OP for further info, why not just do that instead of criticising her for not including a link which may not have been present anyway!

It certainly wasn't meant to be rude. Just practical. I was not the original poster, so please exonerate the OP from your accusation of rudeness. The practical point is that if there is a way to deal with change of address, certainly, please link to previous advice on the subject. That would be very helpful to everyone and, indeed, I am interested myself. But general quotation without a link doesn't help anyone. Which is all I was trying to say. So please, to the adviser, do you have an active link to the advice that you were referencing? And apologies if I was too abrupt and sounded rude.

All I did was a search, like you did, there was no link otherwise I would have put it, I just copied and pasted the reply. When you search, try different phrases, then you'll hit on it.
