Red Tape/Changing Address

People I need to inform of an address change:

Banks

First Direct: current & joint account Santander: current & joint account Co-op: current & business account Principality: savings account

First Direct

You must phone them in order to change address, but it can be done immediately over the phone after answering a couple of security questions.

Phone (as of 2019-05-14)

03 456 100 100

Santander

You can change the address directly in the banking website.

Online Banking Site

• Choose Change personal details from the left hand menu and then click Change address.
• Enter your new details (including postcode) and follow the onscreen instructions.
• Please note: you'll need to enter a One Time Passcode (OTP) to complete this change, so make sure you have your mobile phone to hand.

Co-op

TBC

Principality

You can change your details in the online banking site.

Online Banking Site

• Messages -> Write menu & link at top of page
• Choose Change of personal details from 'Reason' options
• Enter address and send
• It claims that customers who've been with Principality for less than 12 months who are changing address need to provide ID; implying that those who'e been with them for more than 12 months do not.

Legal

Driving Licence

https://www.gov.uk/change-address-driving-licence?step-by-step-nav=c1f13d41-ed7f-44a3-be11-fd95525ddf40

• Rather unecessarily verbose, but it gets there.
• You will need:
  • Address information for past 3 years
  • NINo
  • Passport Number
  • Basic security questions (mother's maiden name/place of birth level stuff)

Vehicle Log Book

https://www.gov.uk/change-name-address-v5c Still in the paper age...

From the above link:

What you need to do

You must send your whole log book and any supporting documents to DVLA.

DVLA
Swansea
SA99 1BA

Which documents you send will depend on what information you want to change. If you've changed address

Write your new address (do not use a PO Box address) in:

• section 3 if you have a new style log book (with multi-coloured numbered blocks on the front
• section 6 if you have the older style log book

Do not tick the new keeper box or fill in your name on the older style form.

You must also change the address on your driving licence and vehicle tax Direct Debit (if that's how you pay).

Not Yet Done

Online

Emusic

At first glance, they don't appear to require an address for their card payments - they only have Zip Code; I re-entered the details with the new 'Zip Code' anyway, just to be sure.

Amazon

Pretty straightforward - open account; open card details; change address.

Steam

Can be changed in Steam client:

• 'panglossian' drop down in top right -> Account Details
• Store & Purchase History -> payment methods shows 'Visa ending in **..' and Edit link.
• Choose Visa and enter all new details
• Confirm and done.

Gog

In the Gog client:

• Panglossian drop down -> Orders
• Payment Options - You can only remove a card; you will have to add it next time you buy something from Gog.

Patreon

Like Emusic, it only requires a postcode:

• Log onto www.patreon.com
• User icon in top right; choose Memberships (?!)
• Payment Methods -> Update link.
• Enter expiry, security code, Postcode; done.

Subscriptions

National Trust

https://secure.nationaltrust.org.uk/mynationaltrust/

• Memberships -> Your Details
• Change address; immediate and easy.

English Heritage

https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/members-area/manage-my-membership/change-of-address/

• A bit messy, but easy enough and immediate

CAMRA

https://www.camra.org.uk/my-membership/edit/

• In theory, you can do it straight on the page, but it keeps booting back to the main CAMRA page when I try.
• Tried:
  • Waterfox (Firefox to all intents & purposes) + NoScript
  • Waterfix sans NoScript
  • Chrome - success
• So Chrome (possibly up to date Firefox - Waterfox does lag behind a bit) is the key.
