Updating Your Address with the Kansas DMV

3 min read

When you move within Kansas or change your mailing address, it's important to update your information with the Kansas Division of Vehicles. Notifying the DMV ensures you continue to receive critical documents like license renewal notices, registration papers, and legal correspondence. Here's how to handle the address change process correctly and promptly.

Kansas law requires drivers to update their address with the DMV within 10 days of moving. This rule applies to all driver license holders, including commercial drivers, and to vehicle registration records. Failing to update your address can lead to missed notices, late fees, and even potential legal consequences if you’re stopped by law enforcement.

Methods for Updating Your Address

You have several convenient options to update your address with the Kansas DMV:

1. Online

Most Kansas residents can update their address online via the Kansas DMV's official website. To use the online service, you’ll need:

  • Your current Kansas driver's license or ID card number
  • The last four digits of your Social Security Number
  • Your new residential and/or mailing address

Note: This option is not available for CDL holders; they must visit a DMV office in person.

2. By Mail

You can submit your address change by completing the Change of Address Form (DC-1) and mailing it to: Driver Solutions P.O. Box 2188 Topeka, KS 66601-2188

Be sure to fill out the form completely and accurately.

3. In Person

You can also update your address at a Kansas DMV office. Bring your driver’s license or ID and proof of your new address (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement).

To avoid long wait times, consider scheduling an appointment.

What Gets Updated?

When you change your address with the Kansas DMV, your driver’s license record and vehicle registration are updated, but your physical license or registration documents are not automatically reissued. If you want documents with your new address:

  • You can replace your driver’s license
  • Or wait until your next renewal

CDL Address Changes

Commercial drivers are required to update their address in person at a full-service DMV location. They must also present proof of Kansas residency under federal REAL ID regulations. For details, refer to Kansas CDL Endorsements and Requirements.

Proof of Residency

If you're requesting a new license with the updated address or you're applying for a REAL ID-compliant card, be prepared to show two proofs of Kansas residency, such as:

  • A utility bill dated within 60 days
  • Lease or mortgage documents
  • A bank statement

Vehicle Registration and Titles

Your vehicle registration and title address should also be updated. If you're only updating your address (not transferring ownership), you do not need to get a new title, but it's wise to keep your records current.

Make sure your records stay up to date, especially before traveling or renewing credentials. For guidance on other DMV services:
