Driving License - changing details, specifically signature

[Pabs]

Hey folks,

 

Weird question here, but it's something I think I need to do.

 

Occassionally, when I'm asked to show my ID, the requestor needs 2 forms of ID with the same signature on it. I have to use my Passport and a Debit/Credit card, since my driving license has my old signature on it. Sounds silly, but I got my driving license when I was 18, and my signature was quite lame (easy to duplicate also) and about 5 years ago I changed my signature.

 

I've searched the DVLA website etc, and it helps you to change address, name, or even photo if you wish, but nowhere can I find an option for a change of signature.

 

Is it possible to change this? I need to change my address soon anyway, as I'm moving house, so if I could do both at the same time it would save me a lot of grief in the future.

 

It's that, or I wait for another 3-4years until my license expires and i need a replacement - hopefully then i can change it.

 

Cheers folks

Have you asked in the post office? They usually know about that kind of thing?

[Pabs]

Nope, but good thinking SupraGirlie - might have to do that - thanks!

 

Just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation with signature? It's not something i change on a weekly basis - just really because the last one was almost me simply writing my name normally! lol

hmmmm, what does you're new signature look like???

 

I would go to a post office like supragirlie said and get their advice, i have never seen any info on it before.

lol - the new signature is my name too, but because I spend half my life signing I can't be a*sed to write it out neatly, which I had to do with my last one to make it look the same. It looked like a school-kids handwriting, it was that bad. But then I did have it since I was a kid, so I suppose it makes sense.
