3. Notification of change of address of a personal licence holder

Overview

If you are a personal licence holder it's a legal requirement that you tell us if you change your name or address.

How to tell us

The easiest way to tell us that you have changed your name or address is to send us an email to licensing@eastdevon.gov.uk with your current details and new name or address.

You'll also need to send us your existing personal licence and badge in the post so that it can be re-issued.

Alternatively you can use this online application to let us know your new name or address details.

Payments

You'll be charged a fee for this application.  Please make sure you are aware of how much this will cost
