When you change your licence address your adr will be sent out automatically with new address on, just keep your current one for time being.
Like he said mate,don’t send ure ADR certificate. Its considered part of ure license and is all automaticly done. Doesn’t work with ure digi card though,still have to fill in the form for new one.

Hi jonnybravo,
As mentioned above, you don’t send in your present ADR certificate when you inform DVLA of a change of address. The part I’ve made red above is the reason why .
ADR doen’t mention anything like… unless you’ve moved house, or seven days to produce it at a police station, or a photocopy is ok, or anything else.
ADR does require that the original ADR certificate is to be carried on board the vehicle when you’re driving a load that is subject to the full weight of the ADR Regs.
It would be unfair to expect you to lose a couple of week’s work because you’ve complied with the licencing requirement to surrender your licence for a change of address. After all, it’s only an administrative ‘thing’ you’re doing, so you can carry on working.
FYI:
The date of expiry of your new ADR certificate will remain unaltered from your present one, because the expiry date depends on when you passed the core module. When your new ADR certificate arrives, you should destroy the old one, because the old one is then automatically no longer valid.
