DMV Change of Address North Dakota

To change your address with the North Dakota DMV you must update your records within 10 days of moving. Residents can update their address online through the NDDOT portal, by mail, or in person at a local Driver License office to ensure legal compliance.

Can I Change My North Dakota Driver’s License Address Online?

North Dakota allows residents to update their address online through the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) digital services portal. You will need your current driver license number and your social security number to access the system and verify your identity. This digital update changes your record but does not automatically trigger the delivery of a new physical card.

How to Update Your Address with the North Dakota DOT (Department of Transportation)

Updating your residency information with the North Dakota Department of Transportation is a mandatory step for all drivers who relocate within the state. To maintain a valid driving record, you must notify the agency of your new physical and mailing address within the strictly enforced 10 day window. This process ensures that you receive essential documents, such as license renewal notices and registration information, without interruption. Depending on your preference for digital or traditional methods, North Dakota provides three primary ways to complete this requirement.

Online Address Change

First you should navigate to the official NDDOT website and select the driver license address change option. Next you enter your personal identification details including your license number and your date of birth. Finally you provide your new residential and mailing addresses and submit the electronic form to update the state database.

Change of Address by Mail

If you prefer to update your information by mail, you can send a written request to the Driver License Division. You must include your full name, date of birth, driver license number, and both your old and new addresses. This method updates your record for driver services but you should also notify the motor vehicle division for registration.

In-Person Address Update

You must visit a Driver License site in person if you want a new physical license that displays your updated address. While an online or mail-in update changes your digital record, a physical duplicate license requires an in-person application. You should bring proof of your new residency if you are also upgrading to a REAL ID at that time.

Direct Support

If you need assistance with your address update or have specific questions about your driving record, you can contact the NDDOT Driver License Division at 701-328-2600.

Fees and New License Card

There is no fee to simply update your address in the North Dakota database through the online portal or by mail. However, if you want a physical duplicate license that shows your new address, you must pay a fee which is 15 dollars. This fee is required because the state must manufacture and mail a new secure credential to your home.

Schedule Your Visit

If you need to visit an office to get a new physical card, it is highly recommended that you book an NDDOT Appointment to avoid long wait times.
