Where to change your address and what you'll need

You can change your address on your Utah driver's license at any Driver License Division office in the state, or by mail. The in-person route is faster — most offices process the change while you wait. You'll need your current driver's license and proof of your new address, such as a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days.

If you choose to mail in your change, send your current license and address proof to the Driver License Division. Processing by mail typically takes 7 to 10 business days after the office receives your materials. The address to mail to and current mailing instructions are on the Utah Driver License Division website.

You do not need to pay a fee to change your address. This is a free update to your existing license.

  • There is no fee for changing your address on your license.

In-person change at a Driver License Division office

Walk into any Driver License Division office with your current license and address proof. Tell the staff member you need to change your address. They will update your record in the system and print a new license on the spot. The entire process usually takes 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how busy the office is.

Your new license will have your updated address printed on it. You can use it when ready for identification purposes. Office hours and locations are listed on the Utah Driver License Division website, and some offices accept walk-ins while others operate by appointment. Calling ahead or checking online before you go saves a trip.

Mailing your address change

If you cannot visit an office in person, mail your current driver's license and a copy of your address proof to the Driver License Division at the address listed on their website. Include a note with your name and the new address you want on file. Do not send original documents you cannot replace — a copy of your utility bill or lease is sufficient.

The office will process your change and mail your updated license back to you. This process takes 7 to 10 business days after they receive your materials, plus mail delivery time in both directions. If you need your license sooner, an in-person visit is your faster option.

What counts as proof of your new address

The Driver License Division accepts documents dated within the last 60 days that show your name and new address. Utility bills (electric, gas, water), lease agreements, mortgage statements, and bank statements all work. Some offices also accept government mail, property tax notices, or insurance documents.

The document must have your name printed on it and must clearly show your new street address. A post office change-of-address form does not count as proof of residence. If you are moving to a new place but have not yet received a bill or statement at that address, ask the office what temporary proof they will accept — some allow a signed lease or a letter from your landlord on letterhead.

Timing and what to expect after you change your address

Your address change takes effect when ready when you complete it in person or when the office processes your mailed request. Your new license will be mailed to your new address if you change it by mail, so make sure the address you provide is correct and that someone will be there to receive it.

If you are moving out of state or your license is expiring soon, changing your address now does not extend your license expiration date. You will still need to renew your license on its regular schedule. The address change is separate from renewal.

If you've already moved but haven't updated your license yet

Utah law does not set a specific important date for changing your address after you move, but you should do it as soon as you can. If you are stopped by law enforcement and your license shows an old address, you may be asked to explain the discrepancy. Updating your address promptly avoids confusion and ensures mail from the Driver License Division reaches you.

If your license has already expired, you will need to renew it rather than straightforward change the address. Renewal and address change are handled together at that point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my address online?

No. Utah does not offer online address changes for driver's licenses. You must visit a Driver License Division office in person or mail in your request with your current license and address proof.

What if my proof of address is older than 60 days?

Documents older than 60 days are typically not accepted. If you do not have a recent utility bill or bank statement, ask the office whether they will accept a lease agreement, a letter from your landlord, or another document. Policies can vary by office.

Do I need an appointment to change my address in person?

Some Driver License Division offices accept walk-ins, while others require appointments. Check the office's hours and policies on the Utah Driver License Division website or call ahead to confirm whether you need to book a time slot.

Will my new license be mailed to my old address or new address if I change it by mail?

Your new license will be mailed to the new address you provide. Make sure the address is correct and that you or someone at that location will be available to receive mail.

Does changing my address affect my license expiration date?

No. Changing your address does not extend or change your license expiration date. You will still need to renew your license on its regular schedule.
