How to Notify the Oregon DMV of an Address Change?

I’m moving within Oregon: How to change my address with the Oregon DMV?

When you’re moving within your state, you are required to change your address with the department of motor vehicles (DMV) as soon as possible. Every state has their own rules and policies. If you’re moving within Oregon, you are required to update your address with DMV within 30 days of your move.

Because updating your address is so crucial, many states have narrowed the process significantly. In order to update your address on your license and on other documents, you should be aware of the steps that are to be followed in your state.

So how can you apply for an Oregon DMV change of address?

 

1. Online

In Oregon, you can complete the driver’s license change of address request online, just with a few clicks. It is one of the most convenient options available, considering that you have your Oregon’s driver’s license, ID, date of birth and a social security number (SSN).

Step by step process

1. Visit the Oregon.gov website and click on the online form. 
2. Fill in your credentials and follow through the process to update your address. 
3. You will be required to provide your date of birth, last six digits of your social security number (SSN), zip code, Oregon license, ID number and permit and last name.
4. Complete the application and double-check for any errors.
5. If any additional documents are needed, scan and upload them.
6. After getting done with the request, decide if you want to request a replacement license.
7. Since 2020, DMV is no longer issuing address stickers for your driver license, ID card or permit. You will no longer be required to get a replacement card when your address changes.
8. You will have to pay the fee online by credit card.
9. Wait for your documents in your mailbox.
