Change Address on an Existing Georgia Driver’s License
If you are an existing Georgia driver and change your address within Georgia, you have 60 days to update your license.
- An address change can be done online, in person at a DDS Customer Service Center (CSC), or by downloading the DDS 2 GO Mobile App.
- You’re allowed 1 free address change during the original 8-year term of your license, as long as it's not within 150 days of your license’s expiration date. If you’re within that 150 days, you’ll have to renew your license and pay the required renewal fee.
- If you are under the age of 18, you’ll have to change the address on your learner’s permit or provisional license.
- If you are moving to Georgia from out of state, you will have to transfer your current driver’s license to a valid Georgia license within 30 days of moving.
How Do I … Change my Address on my Georgia Driver’s License?
Get Prepared
Make sure your new address has been registered with the United States Post Office (USPS). The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) will verify your new address through USPS.
Gather What You'll Need
- Current Georgia driver’s license
