Change your address on your driver's license or ID card
You will need to update the address on your card within 60 days of your move or within 30 days if you are a commercial driver.
Note: P.O. Boxes are not allowed as a residence address.
If your name changed with your address, make sure you have all documents for your name change.
Changing the address on your license or ID does not change the address on your motor vehicle records. You can update your address for your motor vehicles at a deputy registrar office or online if you have a MyDVS profile.
You will need to notify the Post Office of your address change. The Post Office will not forward mail from Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS).
