Where to change your address and what you'll need

You can change your address on a Utah driver license at any Driver License Division office in the state, or by mail if you're changing only your address and nothing else on your license. The in-person route takes about 15 minutes. The mail route takes one to two weeks but requires no office visit.

For either method, you'll need proof of your new address. The Driver License Division accepts a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or government mail (like a tax notice) dated within the last 60 days. A bank statement or credit card statement does not count as proof of address.

You do not need to bring your current license to change your address by mail, but you will need it if you go in person. If your license is expired or will expire within 30 days, the office may require you to renew it at the same time, which costs extra and takes longer.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your address by mail or in person at any Driver License Division office in Utah.
  • Proof of your new address must be dated within the last 60 days and can be a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or government mail.
  • Changing your address by mail takes one to two weeks; in person takes about 15 minutes.
  • If your license expires within 30 days, the office will likely require you to renew it at the same time, which adds cost and processing time.

Changing your address by mail

To change your address by mail, fill out Form DL-43 (Address Change), which you can read from the Utah Driver License Division website or request by phone at 801-538-3800. Include a copy of your proof of address with the form.

Mail both documents to the address listed on the form. The Division will process your request and mail you a new license with your updated address. This usually takes one to two weeks, though it can take longer during busy periods.

You do not need to include payment—address changes are free. Keep your old license until the new one arrives; your old license remains valid for identification purposes until the new one is issued.

Changing your address in person at a Driver License office

Bring your current driver license and proof of your new address to any Driver License Division office. You can find office locations and hours on the Utah Driver License Division website. Some offices take walk-ins; others operate by appointment only. Call ahead or check online to confirm whether your nearest office requires an appointment.

Tell the staff member you need an address change. They will verify your proof of address, update your record, and issue a new license on the spot. The new license is valid when ready. There is no fee for an address change.

If your license is expired or expiring within 30 days, staff will tell you that you must renew it instead of straightforward changing your address. A renewal costs money and takes longer than an address change alone, so if your license is still valid for more than 30 days, you can proceed with the address change only.

What happens after your address is changed

Once your address change is processed, your new license will show your updated address. If you changed your address by mail, you'll receive the new license in the mail. If you changed it in person, you'll have it when ready.

Your old license is no longer valid for identification after your new license is issued. You can dispose of it or keep it for your records. Your driving record and license number do not change—only your address is updated in the system.

If you moved out of state or need to update other information

If you moved to another state, you will need to obtain a driver license from that state. Utah will not renew or update a license for someone who no longer lives in Utah. Contact the driver licensing agency in your new state to learn about their requirements.

If you need to change information other than your address—such as your name, date of birth, or gender marker—you cannot do this by mail. You must go to a Driver License Division office in person. Name changes require a court order or marriage certificate. Gender marker changes require a signed statement from a licensed healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my address online?

No. Utah does not offer online address changes for driver licenses. You must either mail in Form DL-43 with proof of address, or visit a Driver License Division office in person.

How long does my proof of address have to be?

Your proof of address must be dated within the last 60 days. If your document is older than 60 days, it will not be accepted, and you'll need to bring a different document that meets the date requirement.

Do I have to renew my license if I only change my address?

No, not unless your license is expired or will expire within 30 days. If your license is still valid for more than 30 days, you can change your address without renewing. If it expires soon, the office will require you to renew at the same time.

What if I don't have a utility bill or lease to prove my address?

You can use any government mail dated within the last 60 days, such as a tax notice, voter registration card, or court document. If you have none of these, contact the Driver License Division at 801-538-3800 to ask what other documents they will accept in your situation.

Will my license number change when I update my address?

No. Your license number stays the same. Only your address is updated on your license and in the system. Your driving record and all other information remain unchanged.
