Whether there is a legal requirement to be able to receive mail at an
address which you give to eg DVLA is another matter.


DVLA aren't even consistent in this requirement themselves. They make a
fuss about needing to give them new address details if you move and it
being an offence not to tell them... but if you move abroad they have no
facility to record foreign addresses so specifically state they do not
need to be contacted. There is also no legal requirement to exchange a
licence for one in the new country of residence in the EU. So I have a
valid UK driving licence with a UK address on it that is five years out
of date and at which DVLA cannot contact me! The only requirement to
switch to a new licence in the new country is in the event of a traffic
offence requiring points.
