Failing to inform the DVLA that you have changed your address could land you with a £1,000 fine.
The one grand charge can be easily avoided, however, and changing your address in completely free to do.
It's easy too, it can all be done online via the gov.uk website.
UK drivers must inform the government agency whether relocation is permanent or temporary - such as moving to university for term time.
A DVLA spokesperson said: "Drivers are required by law to let the DVLA know if they change their name or address. The DVLA then issue a new licence for free.
"Keeping DVLA informed ensures that drivers can be notified promptly with important information affecting such as reminders when their licence is due for renewal."

Drivers could also face another fine - one that increased under new laws in the first few months of 2017.
The mobile phone ban now sees a £200 penalty plus six points on your licence if you are caught touching your gadget whilst driving. This includes firing off a quick text in traffic, or changing the song on your Spotify playlist.
Likewise, drivers could soon be hit with a £70 fine if they are found parking on pavements. The idea behind pressure-groups wanting the government to enforce this is to keep the path clear of obstruction or to avoid hindering those with mobility impairments.
In addition to their address, though, drivers must also keep their photo up-to-date or, again, risk another £1,000 fine.
Martin Lewis told viewers on This Morning to check the '4b.' part of your driving licence for its expiry date. According to research, some 2.2m of photos are too old.
"Now the DVLA does write to you," he told the show. "But many miss it. If yours is out of date, don't worry, you won't be fined for renewing it, so get it sorted."

Photocard licences should be renewed every ten years.
New licences take an estimated one to three weeks to arrive once the application for renewal has been sent off.
But they may soon be a thing of the past. The DVLA has plans, in 2018, to introduce digital driving licenses. The idea being that drivers can access their document via their smartphones.
