DC DMV updates your license/ID and DC-registered vehicles in one request. Online needs a REAL ID or Limited Purpose credential; otherwise go in person. Update within 60 days of moving.

Steps
6 steps
- Report within 60 days: Update your address with DC DMV within 60 calendar days of a move.
- Online if you have a REAL ID: Upload two proofs of residency online. DMV emails you once the request is approved.
- Pay the fee after approval: Pay the change-of-address fee online; then DMV updates your license/ID and vehicle registration. Amount not stated on the official page.
- No REAL ID? Go in person: Without a REAL ID or Limited Purpose credential, the change must be done in person.
- Your vehicles update too: DMV updates DC-registered vehicles and mails new registration cards. A co-owner with their own license must apply separately.
- By mail: Mailed requests are processed within 7-10 business days of receipt.
