If you are an Oregon resident and have changed addresses or plan to do so in the near future, you must have the address information updated on your license, vehicle registration and title certificate. You are also required to notify your insurance provider of your new address.

[edit] REPORTING A CHANGE OF ADDRESS TO THE DRIVER LICENSE DIVISION

You must notify the Oregon Driver License Division of a change in address within 30 days of moving to a new residence, and obtain a replacement driver license. Reporting a change of address to your local driver license office is simple, and can be done via mail or online. If you are a commercial license holder, apply in person at your local driver license office.

Reporting an address change by mail:

1. Complete the change of address form and mail it to the following address:

   Department of Motor Vehicles
   1905 Lana Ave NE
   Salem, OR 97314    

2. Your replacement license (or a change of address sticker to be affixed to the back of your license) will arrive via mail in approximately 30 days.

Reporting an address change via the Internet:

1. You can report a change of address online by visiting the Online Change of Address form and following the instructions.
2. The process normally takes about two weeks.

[edit] ADDRESS CHANGE ON YOUR VEHICLE TITLE AND REGISTRATION

1. You must notify your nearest DMV office of a change of address and have this information updated on your Oregon vehicle title and registration certificate. This must be done within 30 days of moving to a new address, since this will allow you to receive your renewal notice and any other correspondence in a timely fashion.
2. You can either report the change of address by mail or online.

[edit] NOTIFYING YOUR INSURANCE SERVICE PROVIDER OF AN ADDRESS CHANGE

1. You must also notify your insurance provider of your change of address, so that you receive timely information regarding due dates for payments, renewals, and other communication.
2. To save time and money, some Oregon drivers who change addresses choose to obtain a free quote for new auto insurance instead of changing the address with their current insurance provider. Not only does this save the hassle of contacting and notifying the current insurance company, but it could potentially save hundreds of dollars by identifying companies that offer lower rates and/or better coverage.

[edit] ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• If you are a non-US citizen residing in Oregon, and wish to have your address updated on your license, you must apply in person at a driver license office. Please remember to bring appropriate proof of legal presence.
