Before You Begin

Before you start the process to change your address on your Washington driver's license, note that you must do so within 10 days of moving, and the process you'll follow depends on what kind of license you have.

Enhanced Driver License

To change your address on your Washington Enhanced Driver License (EDL) take your current EDL, proof of residence, and the fee of $10 to your nearest EDL/ID office locations.

Regular Driver License

When you change your address on your regular driver's license, you can choose to only notify the Department of Licensing or to notify the Department of Licensing and get a new license with your updated address.

Notification Only

Fill out an address change form and mail it to your local Licensing Services Office. This process is free. As a bonus, you can update the address on your voter registration records at the same time.

You will not be issued a new license. Instead, you can simply write your new address on the back of your driver's license or ID. You can do this with your car's registration as well.

Notification with a New License

If you want a new license with your new address on it, you'll have to apply in person at your local LSO. You will need to turn over your old license and pay a $10 fee.
