About Changing Your Address on Your Idaho Registration

An Idaho DMV change of address must be reported to the Idaho Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) after moving to another home within the state. You must keep your correct address on file with the DMV so that you do not miss registration renewal notices or other important information about your vehicle. 

Conveniently, Idaho uses one DMV change of address form that updates your driver’s license, identification card and vehicle registration all at once. In addition, you can change your car registration address information online.

When is an Idaho DMV change of address necessary?

Performing an address change on your car registration is required each time you move to a new home within the state of Idaho. You must do so within 30 days of moving, according to Idaho law.
