Change your address online, by mail, or in person at a Driver License Division office

Utah lets you change your driver's license address without getting a new card. You can do this through the Utah Driver License Division in three ways: online through their website, by mail with a form, or by walking into an office in person. The online method is fastest and costs nothing. You'll need your current license number and a way to verify your identity.

The address change itself takes effect when ready when you complete it online, or within a few business days if you mail the form. Your physical card stays the same — only the address in the system updates. You don't need to pass a test or pay a fee for this change.

Key Takeaways

  • Utah's online address change tool on the Driver License Division website is the quickest option and requires only your license number and identity verification.
  • If you mail the form, include a signed statement of your new address and mail it to the Driver License Division; processing takes several business days.
  • You can also walk into any Driver License Division office with your current license and proof of your new address to change it in person.
  • Your physical license card does not change when you update your address — only the record in the system is updated.
  • There is no fee to change your address on your Utah driver's license.

Change your address online through the Driver License Division website

The online method is the simplest route. Go to the Utah Driver License Division website and look for the address change option in their online services. You'll enter your driver's license number, date of birth, and your new address. The system will ask you to verify your identity — this usually means answering security questions based on your driving record or personal history.

Once you complete the online form and your identity is confirmed, the address change takes effect right away. You'll receive a confirmation on screen. Your license number and card stay the same; only the address on file updates. This method works from home and takes about 10 minutes.

Mail a signed address change form to the Driver License Division

If you prefer to mail your change, contact the Driver License Division to request their address change form, or read it from their website. Fill in your current license number, your new address, and sign and date the form. Include a copy of a document that shows your new address — a utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days usually works.

Mail the completed form and your proof of address to the Driver License Division at their mailing address (listed on their website). Processing by mail takes 5 to 10 business days. Keep a copy for your records. You don't need to include your physical license card.

Update your address in person at a Driver License Division office

You can walk into any Driver License Division office with your current license and proof of your new address. Bring a document dated within the last 60 days that shows your name and new address — a utility bill, lease agreement, or recent bank statement all work. The staff will update your address on the spot, and the change takes effect when ready.

Office wait times vary by location and time of day. Arriving early in the morning or on a weekday typically means a shorter wait. You don't need an appointment for an address change at most offices, but calling ahead to confirm is a good idea.

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. Common examples include a utility bill (electric, gas, water, or internet), a lease or rental agreement, a mortgage statement, a bank or credit card statement, or a government document like a tax return. The document must be an original or certified copy — a photo of it usually won't work.

If you've just moved and don't yet have a document in your name at the new address, ask your landlord or property manager for a signed letter on their letterhead confirming your new address and move-in date. Some offices will accept this in place of a utility bill.

Timeline for your address change to take effect

Online changes take effect when ready — your address updates in the system as soon as you complete the form and pass identity verification. In-person changes also take effect the same day. Mail-in changes take 5 to 10 business days from the date the Driver License Division receives your form.

Once your address is updated, it appears in the system right away. If you need to provide proof of your new address to someone else (a bank, employer, or government agency), you can print a confirmation from the online system or ask for a letter from the Driver License Division office.

What happens to your physical license card

Your driver's license card itself does not change when you update your address. The card keeps the same number, expiration date, and photo. Only the address stored in the Driver License Division's computer system updates. This means you can keep using your current card — there's no need to get a replacement.

If you want a new card printed with your updated address, you would need to request a replacement license, which does cost a fee. Most people don't do this unless their card is damaged or lost. Your current card remains valid for driving and identification purposes even though the address on it is outdated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my address if I'm moving out of state?

If you're moving out of Utah permanently, you should get a driver's license from your new state instead of just changing the address. Utah's address change is meant for moves within the state. Contact your new state's DMV or driver's license agency to find out their process for new residents.

Can I change my address if my license is expired?

Yes, you can change your address on an expired license. However, you'll also need to renew your license at the same time or shortly after. The Driver License Division may ask you to renew during the address change process, depending on how long your license has been expired.

What if I don't have proof of my new address yet?

If you've just moved and don't have a utility bill or lease in your name yet, ask your landlord or property manager for a signed letter on their letterhead confirming your new address and move-in date. Some offices will accept this temporarily while you wait for other documents to arrive in your name.

Will changing my address affect my driving record or insurance?

Changing your address does not affect your driving record or any violations on it. Your insurance company should be notified of your move separately — contact them directly. Your driver's license address and your insurance address are separate records.

How much does it cost to change my address?

There is no fee to change your address on your Utah driver's license. This service is free whether you do it online, by mail, or in person at an office.
