Change of Address

Welcome to the DMV Change of Address (COA) System.

You can change your residence or mailing address for your California Driver License, Identification Card, vehicle, or vessel. A new driver license, identification card or registration card is not issued when changing your address. Temporary mailing addresses are not allowed.

U.S. CITIZENS ONLY. The law requires you to update your voter registration when you move to a new permanent residence.

You may authorize DMV to notify the Secretary of State of a voter change of address if you are already registered to vote. If you move to another county or are not registered to vote, you must complete a voter registration application. The voter registration application can be completed online or downloaded by visiting: RegisterToVote.ca.gov.

You cannot use this online service if you:

Do not have a California Driver License or California Identification Card
Do not have a Social Security Number
Have a Commercial Driver License (CDL) issued by California and your residence address is in another state
Have an Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office address
Have an address outside of the United States
If any of the above applies to you, please complete a Change of Address (DMV14) form and mail it to the address listed on the form. A change of address does not require an in-person visit to a DMV office.

For more information, please refer to the COA FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions).
