When I moved here I used my Aussie lic. until someone said that was only valid for 5 years and I should hand it in and I'd get a British one. Check that there's no time limits for the use of the your forrun mucky license. It might be easier to do the swap earlier.

For reference, the country I am moving to accepts my UK license as such, no need to retake the test.
They do today, but if we leave with no transition then they won't, until they decide which UK documents they're going to recognise.

So in a few weeks I hope to have finalised my own personal Brexit and will live overseas for the foreseeable future. My understanding is that UK driving licences must show the correct address. If I had moved internally in the UK I guess I would have just told the DVLA and then wait for the updated card to turn up at my new address?
But what happens when I move abroad? For reference, the country I am moving to accepts my UK license as such, no need to retake the test. And in any case it does no require one's address on the card, so if I was to just keep using my current card I would break the law in Blighty only, but not my new domicile. Has anyone else here been trough this?
