Where to change your address and what you'll need

You can change your address on a Utah driver's license at any Driver License Division office operated by the Utah Department of Public Safety. You do not need to renew your license or pay a fee to make this change — it is a free update to your record.

The Driver License Division has offices in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, St. George, and Moab. You can also change your address by mail or online through the Utah Driver License Division website, though the online option is limited to certain address changes and requires your current license number and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Bring one document that shows your new address. Acceptable documents include a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, bank statement, or government mail with your name and new address. The document must be dated within the last 60 days. You will also need your current driver's license and proof of identity if your name has changed since your license was issued.

Key Takeaways

  • You can update your address in person at any Utah Driver License Division office, by mail, or online through the state website at no cost.
  • Bring a recent document showing your new address — a utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within 60 days works.
  • The in-person process takes about 15 to 30 minutes at most offices, and your updated license is ready when ready.
  • If you change your address online, the update takes effect right away, but you will receive a replacement card in the mail within 7 to 10 business days.
  • You do not need to renew your license or pay any fee to change your address.

Changing your address in person at a Driver License Division office

Walk into any Driver License Division office during business hours with your current license and a document showing your new address. Tell the clerk you want to update your address. They will verify the document, confirm your new address, and update your record on the spot.

Your updated license is printed when ready at most offices. You will walk out with a new card that shows your new address and the same expiration date as your old license. The entire process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how busy the office is.

Office hours vary by location. The Salt Lake City office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Ogden, Provo, St. George, and Moab offices have similar hours but may close for lunch. Check the Driver License Division website or call ahead to confirm hours at your nearest office before you go.

Changing your address by mail

Complete the Driver License Address Change form (available on the Utah Driver License Division website) and mail it to the Driver License Division with a copy of a document showing your new address. Include your current license number and the last four digits of your Social Security number on the form.

Mail your completed form and supporting document to the address listed on the form. Processing by mail takes 7 to 10 business days. You will receive a replacement card in the mail showing your new address. Your old license remains valid until it expires, but the new card will have your updated address.

Keep a copy of what you mail for your records. The mail-in process is slower than in-person or online, so use it only if you cannot visit an office or prefer not to use the online system.

Changing your address online

Visit the Utah Driver License Division website and log into your account using your license number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. Select the option to update your address and enter your new address in the fields provided.

The online system updates your record when ready, and your new address takes effect right away. However, you will receive a replacement card in the mail within 7 to 10 business days. Until the new card arrives, your old license is still valid for identification purposes, but your address on file with the state has already changed.

The online option works for most standard address changes within Utah. If your situation is unusual — for example, if your name on file does not match your current legal name — you may need to visit an office in person instead.

What happens if your address changes again soon after

If you update your address and then move again before your replacement card arrives, you can update your address a second time. The system will send a new card with your most recent address. You do not pay a fee for multiple updates.

If you have already received a card with an outdated address, you can update again through any of the three methods — in person, by mail, or online. There is no limit to how many times you can change your address on file.

Address changes and vehicle registration

Changing your driver's license address does not automatically update your vehicle registration. You must notify the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles separately if your vehicle registration needs to reflect your new address.

You can update your vehicle registration address online through the DMV website, by mail, or in person at a DMV office. The process is similar to updating your license, but it is a separate transaction. Some people update both at the same time by visiting a combined Driver License and DMV office location.

Address changes and voter registration

Updating your driver's license address does not automatically update your voter registration. If you have moved to a new county or precinct in Utah, you should update your voter registration separately through the county clerk's office or online at the Utah State Elections Office website.

Voter registration changes must be made before the registration important date for an upcoming election. Check your county clerk's website or the State Elections Office site to confirm the important date and the method to update your registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay to change my address on my driver's license?

No. Changing your address is free. You do not pay a fee whether you update in person, by mail, or online. The only cost is the replacement card itself, which is also provided at no charge.

How long does it take to get a replacement card after I change my address online?

The online update takes effect when ready in the state system, but your physical replacement card arrives in the mail within 7 to 10 business days. Your old license remains valid for identification until the new card arrives.

What if I don't have a document dated within the last 60 days showing my new address?

You will need to obtain one before you can update your address. A utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement all work. If you cannot get a recent document, contact the Driver License Division office to ask about alternative forms of proof.

Can I change my address if my name on the license doesn't match my current legal name?

You may need to visit an office in person and bring documents showing your legal name change, such as a marriage certificate or court order. The online and mail-in options may not work if your name has changed. Call your nearest office to confirm what documents you need.

If I change my address, do I also need to update my vehicle registration and voter registration?

Yes, those are separate updates. Changing your driver's license address does not automatically update your vehicle registration or voter registration. You must contact the Division of Motor Vehicles and your county clerk or the State Elections Office separately to update those records.
