Fillable Form Virginia Change of Address

What is the Virginia Change of Address Form?

The Virginia Change of Address Form is issued by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and is used by eligible applicants to notify the DMV of any change in the applicant’s address for their Virginia driver's license.

You must notify the DMV and provide the street address of your new residence within 30 days of changing your address. You may not enter a post office box or business address. The address that you will enter must also be located in Virginia.

For your driver’s license or identification card, you may provide an alternate address if you do not want your residence address to appear on it.

Using this form, you may also obtain a revised vehicle registration card.
