Hi, I am just wondering what I have to to in Edinburgh to get a UK drivers licence? In Australia we just go to the RTA and take proof of address.

you have the DVLA here right? What do I need to do and where is it?

Cheers,

Scott

Hi again,

You need to go to the post office and get a form to fill out - they'll be able to tell you which one it is (they usually have them in pigeon holes close to the desks), and that will have all the required info on it.

I believe you have to 'surrender' your Australian licence to have it replaced by a UK one.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Chloe
