First Step: notify them that you are leaving the country. They have a special team that deal with people moving abroad that will ring you back ... still waiting.
Update 18/8/8
Despite several phone calls I've not had any communication from the "special team" the normal Tax Credit phone line can't tell you anything so I guess I'll just wait to see when they stop paying!

Child Benefit
This needs to be cancelled as close to your departure date as possible as they are unable to take a date of departure! Child Benefit is paid on a Monday so cancel it the day afterwards.

International Driving Permit
It is unclear to me how vital an International Driving Permit (IDP) is for Namibia. The RAC site, http://www.rac.co.uk/web/know-how/going-on-a-journey/driving-abroad/driving-abroad-how.htm, indicates that it is not essential. But then when you search for Namibia says that if you hold a green driving license then it is required. It currently costs £5.50 so we'll play on the safe side!
