My son is a U.S citizen - can he renew his driving licence using my home address?

My son is a U.S resident returning only for holidays and family occasions. Can he renew his shortly expiring UK driving licence using my home address? This would help to keep him insured on motor policies we currently hold.

Your son cannot register for a UK licence if he lives in the USA. Fraudulently renewing the licence will invalidate the insurance and risk a maximum fine of £1000.
