NOTE: You may not list a temporary address and/or PO Box as your residence.
You must update changes in address with DC DMV within 60 calendar days of a move to keep your records current. DC DMV may take up to 15 calendar days to process and mail your change of address. Also, if your change of address is rejected, please reply to the DC DMV email. By doing so, DC DMV will response within two business days. If you do not respond to the email, it will delay the processing of your change of address.
The address change will be applied to your driver license or identification card and your vehicle registrations. The address change will also be sent to the DC Board of Elections. For vehicles with co-owners, the change of address will only be applicable to the primary owner. If there is a District co-owner on the vehicle registration, that individual must apply for his or her own change of address.
Failure to update your address with DC DMV may make us unable to send you inspection, license, and vehicle registration renewals, ticket notices, license suspensions/revocations, and other pertinent DC DMV documents. As a result, you may experience inconveniences and fees.
