Changing Your Address

Getting married? Divorced? Planning a move? Don't forget to change your name and/or address with the Department of Public Safety.

In fact, prompt notification of an address change is the law in Oklahoma. You are required to notify your local tag agent or the Department of Public Safety of your new address in writing and within 10 days of the change.

With all the hustle and bustle of a move or a marriage, it's easy to overlook some things; don't let the prompt notification of the Department of Public Safety be one of them. It could even be a matter of life or death; authorities need to know how to contact your family in the event of illness or accident when you may be unable to speak for yourself. Don't cause a delay, take a few minutes today to make that name and address change.

Name Change

If you change you name due to marriage or other reason, you must notify the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety within 10 days of the change. You must also present in person to your local tag agent with a certified copy of the name change document; either a marriage certificate or the court order for the change of name.

Penalties

If you do not notify the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety or your local tag agent of a name and/or address change within 10 days of the change, it could result in the suspension of your driver's license. And what's worse is that you may not even be aware of the suspension if there is no way for the Department to notify you!

Replacement License

A replacement license is not required for an address change; however, if you would like your driver's license to be printed with your new address, you must apply for a replacement license

The fee to replace a driver's license due to a name or address change is $10.
