Just used the online process to change my driving licence address, though 'Government Gateway'.
What an absolutley pile of sh*t that system is.
It took me 20 minutes to re-register as I couldnt remember my 15 digit 'Gateway ID' (Not really top of my list of things to remember) and I also couldnt get through the raft of security questions designed to help you in if you do forget it. I then soon found out why I couldnt get in when it came to re-registering.
Aside from putting in every single bloody document reference I have ever been issued by the governement into the system (passport, national insurance, driving licence paper and card, all previous addresses) I still have to create a password which conforms to their ridiculos regulations, and so in effect make a new one just for this system. I then cant use my mothers maiden name as the 'memorable name' as part of the reset answers. My memorable place was too long.
The real pain in the arse is that I was doing all this knowing I wont remember any of it when I next come to change something in a year or two.
Rant over.
