It's important to keep your address at the District of Columbia Department of Motor Vehicles up to date whenever you relocate. To update your records at the DMV, you can visit a DMV service location.

Gather up the following original documents to update your DMV records:

  • Your current driver's license, registration, or both

If you'd like the DMV to issue you a new license showing your updated address, you'll also pay a $7 duplicate license fee.

Changing Your Name

Whenever you change your name, you'll first have to notify the Social Security Administration. The SSA will issue you a fresh Social Security card with your new name on it (but with the original number).

Once you have done that, bring the following original documents to a DMV service location:

  • Your current driver's license or ID card
  • Updated Social Security card

Also bring one of the following:

  • Divorce decree
  • Certified marriage certificate
  • Official U.S. court name change order
  • Green card
  • Birth certificate (for a name correction)
  • Passport (for a name correction)

Be sure to update your records with the DMV within 30 days of the change. If you request a duplicate license, the fee will be $7 and the DMV will send it only to the address on record.
