How to Notify the Utah DMV of an Address Change?

I’m moving within Utah: How to change my address with the Utah 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 Utah, you are required to update your address with the DMV within 10 days of your move.

Because updating your address is so crucial, many states have narrowed the process significantly. 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 a Utah DMV change of address?

 

1. Online

In Utah, 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 Utah’s driver’s license, ID, date of birth and a social security number (SSN).

Step by step process

1. Visit the Utah.gov website.
2. Visit the change of address section and fill in your credentials.
3. You will be required to provide your last name, driver’s license or ID card number, driver’s license issue date and last 4 digits of your SSN. Follow through the process.
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. You will have to pay the fee online by credit card.

 

2. In person

If you don’t want to apply for an address change online, you can do it the old-fashioned way. You can visit your local driver license office and submit the address change form. You can also apply for replacement documents when you’re at the office.
