Where to go for driver's license address change?

To update the residential address information on your driver's license, you need to visit the local vehicle management office. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security), if there are changes in the contact phone number, address, or other information of a motor vehicle driver, or if there are changes in the employment information of drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, the driver must report these changes to the vehicle management office that issued the license within 30 days of the change. Additional information: Documents required for changing the address on a driver's license: You need to bring your ID card, a copy of your ID card, and the special digital photo used when applying for the driver's license (if lost, it can be retaken at the vehicle management office).

I just went through the process of changing the address on my driver's license recently, and it's definitely something you have to handle at the local DMV. Don't waste time going elsewhere—just search for the nearest DMV location using your navigation app. Remember to bring your original ID card, driver's license, and proof of your new address, such as a property deed or rental contract. Going early on a weekday helps avoid long queues. Head to the information desk first to request an address change, fill out the application form, and wait for your number to be called. Last time, it only took me half an hour and cost just ten yuan for the processing fee. A friend of mine tried doing it online through the 12123 traffic management app, but the document review got stuck, which ended up taking more time. If you've moved to another province, you can now get your license replaced locally under the nationwide service policy, but check the specific rules at the new address's DMV. I recommend calling ahead to confirm the required documents to avoid an unnecessary trip.

Speaking of changing the address on a driver's license, I've personally gone through it twice. The most straightforward way is to visit the vehicle management office service hall, and now many branch offices can handle this task too. Before going, it's best to check which location has fewer people. Last time, I chose a spot based on the queue numbers shown on the map. The required materials are simple: old driver's license, proof of new address (a residence certificate from the community also works), and copies of both sides of your ID card. On-site, you'll need to fill out a change application form, making sure to copy the address exactly as it appears on your documents. While waiting for the new license to be processed at the counter, you can also take care of any traffic violations. Don't fall for the scams by middlemen offering to do it for you—such basic procedures are cheaper and safer to handle yourself. If you're in a hurry, some cities have police-postal service points that can process it faster.

To change the address on your driver's license, you need to visit the DMV in person. It's more convenient to book an appointment via mobile phone before going. Bring your original driver's license and proof of address. The process is quick now with online systems. If you want to avoid crowds, try arriving before 9 AM. Last time I updated my address, I found the new license was directly linked to the electronic version, which was quite handy. For out-of-town processing, a temporary residence permit is required, and the fee is around 20 yuan.
