If you want a replacement driver’s license, ID card, or registration that shows your new address, you may request a duplicate. The easiest way to get a duplicate is online. The RMV's Schedule of Fees shows the cost of each duplicate document.

If you don’t order a replacement driver's license, ID card, or vehicle registration, you should update your existing documents to show your new address.

  • Add your new address to the back of your driver's license or ID card in the designated area with permanent ink.
  • On your vehicle registration, use an address label or similar sticker to cover your old address and write in your new address.

Registered vehicles

If you have vehicles registered, you should:

  • Notify your insurance agent or company of your address change.
  • Contact your previous town assessor to find out if you are eligible for an abatement on your excise tax bill.

Voter registration

When you change your residential address, that information is sent to the Secretary of State and your city or town so your voter registration address can be updated. If you do not want to update your voter registration, you must specify that when you make your address change request.
