Nevada DMV Address Change: Update Your License and Car Online
Nevada law gives you 30 days after a move to update your address with the DMV. The fastest way is MyDMV online, with no appointment, and the DMV then mails you a new license or ID card. Your vehicle registration needs the new address too, because it doesn’t change on its own.

How long do you have to change your address with the Nevada DMV?
Nevada law requires you to update your address with the DMV within 30 days of moving. The rule also applies when you move out of Nevada permanently. A post office forwarding order doesn’t count, because it doesn’t update your DMV record.
The 30 days start when you move into your new home.
Change your license or ID and each vehicle registration, ideally in one sitting online.
Your deadline. Renewal notices, decals and your new card go to the address on file.
Mail forwarding won’t catch DMV mail. Registration certificates and decals are mailed to the address on file, and the Postal Service doesn’t forward them. Update the DMV directly.
How do you change your address with the Nevada DMV?
Change it online through MyDMV, by mailing form DMV 22, or in person at a DMV office with form DMV 002. Online is fastest and needs no appointment. The DMV doesn’t accept address changes by email.

Does changing your license address update your car registration?
Not automatically. The DMV says your vehicle address doesn’t update on its own, so make sure both your driver’s license and each vehicle registration get the new address. Online, have your plate numbers ready so you can update the vehicles too.
License or ID card
Once you update the address, the DMV mails you a new card showing it. The address-only change costs $3.50.
✓New card mailed to you
Vehicle registration
An updated registration certificate is optional; you can write your new address on the one you have. A new certificate or decal is $5 per vehicle.
!Update each vehicle separately
Is your registration due right now? You can renew it first, even at a DMV Now kiosk, then change the address. Our registration renewal guide covers every way to renew.
Name changes, CDLs and other special cases
A name change takes more than an address change: it needs the Social Security Administration first, legal documents and an office visit. Commercial license holders also have to change their address in person.
- Changing your name too?Update your name with the Social Security Administration first; the DMV can’t process it until the SSA has. Then bring the legal document and form DMV 002 to an office. It costs $8.50 for a license or $7.50 for an ID card.
- Separate mailing addressYou can give the DMV a mailing address that’s different from your home address.
- Commercial license (CDL)CDL address changes must be done in person at a DMV office.
- Moving out of NevadaReport the move within 30 days too. Selling the car or taking it off Nevada roads? Our license plates guide covers surrendering plates.
Just moved to Nevada from another state? That’s a license transfer, not an address change; see our new to Nevada guide.
