Colorado Residents Encouraged to Change Address on Driver’s License
DENVER – Colorado residents are being reminded to update their driver’s license address as soon as they move to a new location in the state. The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is urging residents to ensure their address is current in order to comply with state law and receive important updates from the DMV.
The process of changing your address on your driver’s license is simple and can be done online, by mail, or in person at a DMV office. By law, Colorado residents are required to update their address within 30 days of moving to a new location. Failure to do so can result in fines and penalties.
“Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for Colorado residents to update their driver’s license address,” said Sarah Johnson, a spokesperson for the Colorado DMV. “It’s important to keep your address current so that you can receive important notifications from the DMV, such as renewal notices or information about changes in state laws.”
To change your address on your driver’s license online, residents can visit the Colorado DMV website and follow the instructions provided. In order to complete the online address change, residents will need to have their current driver’s license number, date of birth, and social security number. There is a small fee for updating your address online.
Residents can also change their address on their driver’s license by mail by filling out a change of address form and sending it to the DMV along with a copy of their current driver’s license. The address change form can be downloaded from the DMV website or obtained at a local DMV office.
For those who prefer to update their address in person, they can visit a local DMV office and bring their current driver’s license along with proof of their new address, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. There is a fee for updating your address in person at a DMV office.
It’s important for Colorado residents to keep their address current on their driver’s license not only to comply with state law but also to ensure they receive important updates and notifications from the DMV. Failure to update your address can result in missed renewal notices, fines, and even having your license suspended.
In addition to updating your address on your driver’s license, residents are also encouraged to update their address with other agencies, such as the U.S. Postal Service, banks, and insurance companies. Keeping your address current with all agencies ensures that you receive important mail and can avoid any potential issues with billing or communication.
By taking a few minutes to update your address on your driver’s license, you can avoid potential fines and penalties and ensure that you receive important updates and notifications from the DMV. Remember to update your address within 30 days of moving to a new location in Colorado to stay compliant with state law.
