How to change your address in Arizona

SUMMARY: How to Change Your Address in Arizona

If you recently moved to a new address in Arizona, you'll need to notify the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) at your earliest convenience. Upon completing the address change, you'll be able to apply for an updated copy of your AZ driver's license or ID card, vehicle registration, and title.

Continue reading this page for all the information you need to update your address in Arizona.

Change Your Address with the AZ MVD

If you hold an Arizona driver's license or ID card and recently moved to a new address, you must notify the AZ MVD within 10 days. When you make the change of address with the MVD, both your driver's license and vehicle records will be updated.

NOTE: Changing your name with the AZ MVD will update your records only. If you'd like updated documents (i.e. driver's license, registration etc.) see "Request Updated License/Registration/Title" below.

You can change your address with the Arizona MVD online, by phone, or in person at your local AZ MVD branch office.

Online

You can make a change of address online at the AZ MVD website. The system will ask you to provide your:

Full name.
Birth date.
Driver's license or ID card number.
New address.

Afterwards, you can view and print your confirmation receipt. You'll also have the option to obtain an updated copy of your driver's license or ID card. There is a $12 fee if you decide to order a replacement.

By Phone

You can process your address change by calling the Arizona MVD at the following contact numbers:

Phoenix: (602) 255-0072.
Tucson: (602) 255-0072.

Change of Address FAQs

How long do I have to change my address with the DMV?

Most states give you 10 to 30 days after a move to update your driver's license and vehicle registration. The exact window and fees vary by state, so check your state's page for the specifics.

Can I change my address with the DMV online?

In many states, yes. Address changes for your license or registration can often be done online, by mail, or in person. A handful of states still require an in-person or mailed form, and REAL ID changes may need an office visit.

Do I need to update the address on my car title too?

Your vehicle registration address must be current; the title itself usually does not need reprinting for an address change, but your registration and insurance records do. Update registration when you update your license.

What else should I update after moving besides the DMV?

Set up USPS mail forwarding, notify your car insurer (your rate is ZIP-based), confirm your voter registration carried over, and update banks, your employer, the IRS (Form 8822), and any subscriptions or deliveries.

Is there a fee to change my address with the DMV?

Many states let you change your address for free, while others charge a small fee, especially if a new license or registration card is issued. Your state's page lists the exact cost.
