It's pretty standard in a lot of Europe, one is required to update ones license with each change of address (although many people don't).

Along with such weird (to us) things as applying for an exit visa from your current town when you want to move to a new town...

  • Which parts of Europe have a town of where the person lives on their driving license? And what do you mean by “us”?

    • UK driver's licence has my full home address on it. Come to think of it I think my Polish one used to as well.

    • My Spanish identity card has my full address. Not sure if the DNI does as well, or only the foreign resident version.

      US folks are pretty used to being able to up and drive across the country with a suitcase, without filing any paperwork (at least till the taxman comes knocking next April)

    • Germany has the full address the ID card and the issuing office (containing the city) on both the driving license. They are also digital so who knows what they also store on them.
