Complete Part 2
You can change your address online at dmv.ny.gov or at your local DMV office. New York State (NYS) law requires you to notify DMV within 10 days of any PERMANENT address change if you have a NYS driver license, learner permit or non-driver ID card, or a NYS registration for a vehicle, boat, or snowmobile. DO NOT report a temporary address change. You can change your address as part of the document renewal process. Complete the new address fields on your paper reminder notice, or update your address on your MyDMV account. For information about how to change your address online, visit dmv.ny.gov/address-change. You do not have to get a new license, permit, non-driver ID card, or registration document, but you have the option to get a new document. If you want a new document:
Complete Part 1 and Part 2 on page 2 of this form.
Sign your name in the “Certification” section.
Write a check or money order made payable to “Commissioner of Motor Vehicles” for the total fee.
Keep your current document(s) until you receive your new document(s) in the mail in 4 to 6 weeks. Your residential address will appear on the document.

Complete Part 1 but do not complete Part 2. DMV will update your DMV record(s) at no cost.
Update your address on your NYS license, permit, or non-driver ID card, and on your NYS registration document.

For registrations, put a line through the old address and enter new address on the front.
