How to Change Your Address on a Utah Driver's License

The fastest way to change your address in Utah

You can change your address on your Utah driver's license online through the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website, by mail, or in person at a DMV office. The online method is quickest — it takes about 10 minutes and you do not need to visit an office or wait for mail. You will need your current license number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and your new address.

If you prefer not to use the online system, you can mail a completed form to the DMV or walk into any DMV office with your ID and proof of your new address. In-person visits usually take 15 to 30 minutes depending on how busy the office is. Mail processing typically takes two to three weeks.

Changing your address online through the DMV website

Visit the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles website and select the option to change your address. You will be asked to enter your driver's license number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and your new address. The system will verify your information and confirm the change when ready.

After you submit the change online, the DMV will mail you a new license with your updated address within 7 to 10 business days. Your old license remains valid until the new one arrives. You do not need to pay a fee for an address change — this is a free update.

Changing your address in person at a DMV office

Bring your current driver's license and one document that shows your new address. Acceptable documents include a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, bank statement, or government mail — the document must be dated within the last 60 days. You can also bring a piece of mail from a government agency, insurance company, or financial institution.

Walk up to the counter at any Utah DMV office, tell the clerk you need to change your address, and hand over your license and proof of address. The clerk will process the change on the spot. Your new license will be mailed to your new address within 7 to 10 business days. There is no fee for this service.

Changing your address by mail

read and print Form DL-43 (Address Change) from the Utah DMV website. Fill in your current license number, your new address, and sign the form. Include a copy of one document that proves your new address — a utility bill, lease, or recent government mail all work. Mail the form and your proof of address to the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles.

The DMV will process your request and mail your new license to your new address within two to three weeks. Keep your old license until the new one arrives. You do not need to include payment — address changes are free.

What counts as proof of your new address

The DMV accepts documents dated within the last 60 days that show your name and new address. A utility bill (electric, gas, water, or internet) is the most common choice. You can also use a lease agreement, mortgage statement, property tax bill, insurance policy, bank statement, or mail from a government agency.

The document must have your name printed on it and must show your new street address. A post office change-of-address form does not count as proof. If you do not have any of these documents yet, wait until you receive one before changing your address with the DMV.

When to change your address and what happens to your old license

Change your address as soon as you move. Utah law does not set a specific important date, but updating your address quickly keeps your license current and ensures the DMV can reach you if needed. Your old license remains valid for driving until your new one arrives — you do not need to stop driving or carry both licenses.

Once your new license arrives, destroy your old one or keep it in a safe place. You are not required to turn it in. If you move again before your new license arrives, contact the DMV to update your address a second time — they will send the license to your most recent address.

DMV office locations and hours in Utah

Utah has DMV offices in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, St. George, and Moab, plus several smaller locations. Hours vary by office — most are open Monday through Friday during business hours, and some offer limited Saturday hours. Check the Utah DMV website for the specific office nearest you and confirm their current hours before you visit.

If you live far from an office, the online or mail method may save you time. Both are free and do not require you to travel. The online method is fastest if you need your address changed quickly.
