You can change your address online, by mail, or in person at a Driver License Division office

Utah lets you update your driver's license address without getting a new card. The fastest way is online through the Utah Driver License Division website if you have a current license and a valid email address. If you prefer not to go online, you can mail in a form or visit an office in person. The address change itself is free — you only pay if you also request a replacement card with your new address printed on it.

Your address must match what the state has on file for your vehicle registration and voter record, so changing one often triggers updates to the others. If your address is already correct in one system but not another, you may need to update them separately.

Key Takeaways

  • The online method through the Utah Driver License Division website takes minutes and requires your driver's license number, date of birth, and email address.
  • Mailing in Form DL-43 takes one to two weeks and requires your signature; you can read the form from the Driver License Division website.
  • In-person visits at any Driver License Division office are when ready but require a current ID and proof of your new address.
  • A replacement card with your new address costs money, but the address change itself in the system is free.
  • Your address change may automatically update your voter registration and vehicle registration if those records are linked to your license.

Changing your address online

Go to the Utah Driver License Division website and select the option to update your address. You will need your driver's license number, date of birth, and a valid email address. The system will send a confirmation email to verify the change. This method works only if your license is current and not suspended or revoked.

Online changes take effect when ready in the system, though your physical card will still show the old address until you request a replacement. You do not have to get a new card — your license remains valid at the old address. Many people use the online method just to update the state's records for mail and official correspondence, then replace the card later when it expires.

Mailing in a form

read Form DL-43 (Address Change) from the Utah Driver License Division website. Fill it out completely, sign it, and mail it to the address listed on the form. Include a copy of proof of your new address — a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or government mail dated within the last 60 days all work. Do not send your original documents; the state will not return them.

Processing by mail takes one to two weeks. The state will send you a confirmation letter at your new address. Like the online method, this updates your address in the system but does not print a new card. If you need the new address on your physical license, you will have to request a replacement card separately and pay the replacement fee.

Visiting a Driver License Division office in person

Walk into any Driver License Division office with your current driver's license and proof of your new address. Proof can be a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, bank statement, or government mail dated within the last 60 days. The staff will update your address on the spot, and the change takes effect when ready.

In-person visits are the fastest if you need the change done right away and do not want to wait for mail. Offices are located in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, St. George, and Cedar City, plus several smaller towns. Wait times vary by location and time of day; calling ahead can tell you how busy an office is. If you want a replacement card with your new address printed on it, you can request one during the same visit and pay the fee then.

What counts as proof of your new address

The state accepts documents dated within the last 60 days that show your name and new address. Utility bills (electric, gas, water, internet), lease agreements, mortgage statements, property tax notices, and government mail all work. Bank statements and insurance documents are also acceptable. The document must be an original or certified copy — a photo or printout from your email usually will not work, though it is worth asking the office staff.

If you do not have any of these documents yet — for example, if you just moved and the utility company has not sent a bill — ask the office what temporary proof they will accept. Some offices will take a signed letter from your landlord or a recent lease agreement. Having a backup document in mind before you visit saves a trip.

Whether you need a replacement card

Your current driver's license remains valid even after you change your address. You do not have to get a new card unless you want your new address printed on it. Many people change the address in the system for official records but keep using the old card until it expires or they need to replace it for another reason.

If you do want a replacement card with your new address, the fee varies but is typically under $30. You can request it when you change your address online, by mail, or in person. The replacement card usually arrives by mail within one to two weeks. Some offices can print a temporary card on the spot if you visit in person, though this is not may provide at all locations.

How address changes affect your voter registration and vehicle registration

Utah's systems are linked, so changing your driver's license address may automatically update your voter registration if you registered to vote through the Driver License Division. However, vehicle registration does not update automatically — you will need to change that separately through the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles if your address there is different.

If you are unsure whether your voter registration or vehicle registration has been updated, contact the county clerk's office (for voter registration) or the Division of Motor Vehicles (for vehicle registration) directly. It is worth checking because mail about vehicle registration, voting, and license renewal goes to the address on file, and you do not want to miss important notices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my address if my license is expired?

No, the online method requires a current license. If your license is expired, you will need to renew it first. You can renew and change your address at the same time by visiting an office in person or mailing in both forms together.

How long does it take to change my address online?

The online process takes a few minutes to complete. The change appears in the state's system when ready after you confirm your email. You will receive a confirmation email within minutes.

What if I moved out of state but still have a Utah license?

You can change your address to an out-of-state address using any of the three methods. However, most states require you to get a driver's license from your new state within a certain time period. Check your new state's requirements to see if you need to switch licenses.

Do I have to change my address before my license expires?

No, you can change your address at any time. However, if your address is different when you renew, the renewal notice will be mailed to the old address on file, so you may miss it. Updating your address before renewal helps may support you receive renewal notices on time.

What if the proof of address document has my old name on it?

If you recently changed your name, bring both a document showing your old name and one showing your new name, or bring your marriage certificate or court order showing the name change. The office staff can help you figure out what combination of documents works.
