The process to change the address on a driver's license varies by location, but generally involves updating your address through one or more of the following methods:
- Online: Many states allow you to change your address quickly online by logging into the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent website.
- By Mail: Some places require or allow an application form for address change to be mailed in with the required fee.
- In Person: You can visit a driver license office to complete the change by submitting a change of address form and any required documents.
For example, in Texas, you must change your address within 30 days of moving and can do so online, by mail, or in person. The specifics may include eligibility criteria, fees, and required documentation. Some states send a replacement license with the new address while others may ask you to print a label with the new address to attach to your existing license. In the UK, changing your address on a driving license is free and can be done online or by post, but you must also update your vehicle log book and possibly other vehicle registration details. It's important to check the specific rules for the state or country where the license was issued, including deadlines (e.g., 10 or 30 days after moving), fees, and required identification or proof of address. If the state or country of interest is specified, more tailored instructions can be provided. Let me know if a specific location is desired for detailed steps. Here are some example sources for US states and UK:
- Texas DPS: change within 30 days, online/mail/in-person options
- Colorado DMV: online, mail, or in-person change noted; sometimes you print a label
- New York DMV: change within 10 days, mailing forms
- UK DVLA: free online or postal change; must update vehicle registration separately
