Changed Your Address or Details? The NCP Form, Explained

The NCP form updates your address or personal details on the traffic register.

You'll need it if you've moved, changed your surname, or any of your registered particulars have changed — and it's often required alongside a driving licence renewal or a vehicle transaction, which is where most people first encounter it.

TrafficForms fills the NCP in for you from your own documents.

What the NCP form is

NCP stands for Notification of Change of Address or Particulars of Person or Organisation. It's the official form used to tell the traffic register that something about you — or your organisation — has changed.

Most commonly, that's a change of address. But it also covers a change of name, and changes to an organisation's registered particulars.

When you'll need it

  • You've moved house. Your address on the traffic register is now out of date.
  • You've changed your surname — after a marriage, for instance.
  • You're renewing your driving licence and your details have changed. The government's own renewal guidance notes that the NCP is completed alongside the DL1 in this case. It's the step most people only discover at the counter.
  • You're doing a vehicle transaction and your registered particulars are no longer current.
  • If your details are out of date on the register, notices — including renewal reminders and traffic notices — may be going to an address you left long ago.

What you'll need

  • Your ID — green barcoded ID book or Smart ID card.
  • A proof of your new address, generally less than three months old.
  • The completed NCP form.

How TrafficForms helps

Upload your ID and your new proof of address. TrafficForms reads them and completes the NCP for you — your details and your new address, placed in the right fields on the official form.

You review it, adjust anything, preview it, and download it ready to print and sign.

Your source documents are deleted the moment they're read. Nothing is stored, and nothing is submitted on your behalf.

Renewing your licence too?

If you're completing the NCP because you've moved and you're renewing your driving licence, both forms are generally needed. TrafficForms fills each of them from the same documents, so you can do both in one sitting.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the NCP if I've only moved?

If your address on the traffic register has changed, the NCP is the form used to update it. Keeping it current means notices reach you rather than your old address.

Is the NCP needed with a driving licence renewal?

If your address or personal details have changed since your last licence, the guidance is that the NCP is completed alongside the DL1. This is the most commonly missed step in a renewal.

Can an organisation use the NCP?

Yes — the form covers changes to a person's or an organisation's registered particulars.

Where do I get the form?

It's generally available at your licensing centre. TrafficForms fills it from your own documents in a few minutes.

I've changed my address — is the NCP the right form?

Yes — if you've moved house, changed your name, or any of your registered particulars have changed, the NCP (Notification of Change of Address or Particulars) is the form that updates it.

Renewing your driving licence too? See the DL1 guide.
