The California Change of Address System

California has an online Change of Address system.  Eligible customers can submit their change of address for their California driver's license, ID card or for vehicles.  Note: If you change your address using this process, you cannot use the online driver's license renewal process.

  • There is no fee for using this service.

Check back in 72 hours and select the "Check Status Update" to get a confirmation that your address has been changed.
