Individual Address Change

  • New address; and
  • Signature of owner.
Fax the notification to DMV Customer Database Unit at (503) 947-4007, or mail it to:

What An Address Change Updates
When processing your change of address, DMV updates your records immediately and then mails you an address sticker for your active permit, ID card or driver license. The sticker is to be placed directly over your former residence address.
 
DMV uses the same residence address for all vehicles registered in your name and for your driver license, permit or ID card.
 
NOTE: You may get a duplicate ID card or driver license if you do not want to use an address sticker.
 
NOTE: You must provide proof of your Oregon Residence Address before you renew or replace your driver license, permit or identification card in a DMV office.
 
NOTE: If there are multiple vehicle owners and you are not sure whose residence address is being used, ask all owners to verify that their current address is on file with DMV.
 

Replacing An Address Sticker
If your address sticker is mutilated or has become illegible and you still reside at the same address, you can request a replacement sticker at no cost by calling DMV at (503) 945-5000 or by filling out and submitting the general online DMV Driver-related Question Form, specifying what it is you need and why in step 4 of the form.
 
  

Updating Your Vehicle Registration Card

Updating Your Voter Registration
