Why do I need to update my address with DMV?
New York State law requires that you to report a change of residence address on a driver license, permit, non-driver ID, or registration to the DMV within 10 days.
Changing your address with the DMV:
- Updates your DMV records
- Ensures you receive mail related to your registrations and driving privileges
- Does not require you to order new DMV documents displaying your new address
*An address change with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) does not update your address on DMV records. You must report your address change to both the DMV and the USPS. Change your address with the USPS.
