Question referred
Must Article 12 of Directive 2006/126/EC (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on driving licences, in conjunction with the first sentence of the second recital in the preamble thereto, be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State which provides that the only means of proving that a person is normally resident in that State (Latvia) is the declared residence of that person? ‘Declared residence’ must be understood as meaning the obligation of the person, in accordance with the national legislation, to be registered in a state register, in order to notify his accessibility at the declared residence for the purposes of his legal relations with the State and the local authorities.
