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.
