If Eve Paterson ever wants to use this driving licence as ID, she might have some explaining to do.

It isn’t fake – but something definitely isn’t quite right about it.

Her address is given as ‘My dad’s house’ – as whoever typed in the data obviously didn’t realise the problem.

That’s not an official address…

Eve, 18, was amazed when she got the card back from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and posted a photo of it online.

‘I’ve had to update my licence and accidently wrote ‘My dad’s house’ on it,’ she said.

‘Why? So stupid!’

With most of the image blurred out, the teenager’s address, seen on the eighth line of the licence, reads ‘MY DADS HOUSE’ followed by the rest of her address printed normally.

The tweet has gone viral, with over 1,100 retweets and nearly 7,500 likes, with many social media users commenting.

‘Hahaha easy mistake to make,’ Jack Stevenson wrote.

‘Am pi****g myself – you’re no right,’ Rachy Crossan said.

@gfulton72 commented: ‘Aye and the DVLA were just sound with it and thought

that was your actual address.’

Earlier this year, research from comparethemarket.com that 1.5 million drivers in the UK have incorrect address information on their licence, meaning they could face a penalty of £1,000.

UK law states that it is illegal for a driver to be incorrectly registered at an address as they may be involved in an accident where their current address is essential.

A DVLA spokesman said: ‘House names can be a matter of personal choice and we certainly see a very wide variety on the 11 million licences we issue each year, ranging from the unsurprising to the unusual! If Eve returns the licence to us – with the correct house name – we’ll issue her with a replacement.’
