How to change your address in Missouri
SUMMARY: How to Change Your Address in Missouri
You can change your address on your driver's license/ID, car registration, and title certificate records, either online, by mail, by e-mail, or in person. If you'd like updated documents showing your new address, you'll need to order duplicates.
This page will show you how to change your address with the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) and have your driver's license/ID card and vehicle documents updated.
Change Your Address with the MO DOR
When you move to new home in Missouri, you'll need to inform the MO DOR of your new address. You can do this either online, in person, by e-mail, or by mail.
NOTE: The Missouri DOR will update your records only. If you'd like updated documents, you'll need to order replacements.
Online
To change your address online, visit the Missouri DOR website.
You will need to enter your:
- First and last name.
- Last 4 digits of your Social Security number (SSN).
- Phone number.
- E-mail address (optional).
- Previous address.
- New address.
You will also need to provide additional information to update each of your records, including your:
- MO driver's license number.
- Date of birth.
- Vehicle information.
By Mail, E-mail, or In Person
To change your address by mail or in person, you'll need to complete the Address Change Request (Form 5805).
Submit the form in person to your local MO DOR office, or email or mail it to the address on the form.
Driver's License/ID Card Address Change
Once you've updated your Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) records, you may wish to apply for a duplicate driver's license or ID card that shows your new address. You'll need to visit your local MO DOR office in person and submit:
- Proof of your identity.
- Proof of your MO address.
