Individual Address Change

When you need to update your address with DMV, you may choose from the following options:

• Update your U.S. address through DMV's Online Change of Address System;
• Download the Change of Address Notice (Form 735-6438) and mail the completed form to DMV(this option will also update voter registration information);
• Drop off or complete a Change of Address Notice (Form 735-6438) at your local DMV; or
• For addresses outside of the U.S., use the Alternate Change of Address online option.

When submitting a change of address, you can update your permanent residence address, mailing address or both.
 
Note:  If a U.S. address entered into the online system does not exactly match published U.S. Postal Service information or you enter an address outside the U.S., you will receive an error message and have to use one of the other address change options listed above.

What An Address Change Actually Updates

When processing your change of address, DMV updates your records immediately and then mails you an address sticker for your active permit, ID card or driver license. The sticker is to be placed directly over your former residence address.
 
DMV uses the same residence address for all vehicles registered in your name and for your driver license, permit or ID card.
 
Important things to note:

• You may request a duplicate ID card or driver license if you do not want to use an address sticker.
• You must provide proof of your Oregon residence address before you renew or replace your driver license, permit or identification card in a DMV office.
• If there are multiple vehicle owners and you are not sure whose residence address is being used, ask all owners to verify that their current address is on file with DMV.
• A DMV address change does not update US Postal Service information.
• A DMV address change does not update voter registration information unless a Change of Address Notice (Form 735-6438) is submitted (refer to the Updating Your Voter Registration section below for more information).

Replacing An Address Sticker

If your address sticker is mutilated or has become illegible and you still reside at the same address, you can request a replacement sticker at no cost by calling DMV at  (503) 945-5000 or by submitting a driver-related online inquiry, specifying what it is you need and why in Step 3B of the form. 

 
Note:  Submitting an address change for an address already on file will not trigger the production of a new address sticker.

Updating Your Vehicle Registration Card

After you submit your address change to DMV, write your new residence address on the vehicle registration card(s). DMV does not automatically send you a new printed vehicle registration card each time you change your residence address.  If you need an updated card, DMV will mail a new registration card to you if you: 

• Fill out an Application for Registration, Renewal, Replacement or Transfer of Plates and/or Stickers (Form 735-268); 
• Pay the $5 fee (check or money order payable to Oregon DMV); and
• Mail the application to DMV or take it to a DMV office.

Getting A Duplicate License or ID Card

If you want a duplicate license or ID card that shows your new residence address, instead of an address sticker, you may visit a DMV office to get a replacement. You will need to:

• Provide proof of your full legal name;
• Provide proof of your legal presence in the U.S., idenity and date of birth;
• Provide proof of your Social Security Number;   
• Provide proof of your Oregon residence address; and
• Pay the replacement fee.
