When you log on to DMV Online Services by entering your ID number, you will get a complete listing of all vehicles registered to you. On the same page you will find a link to web pages that will guide you through the process of changing your address on-line.

NOTE: If you log on to DMV Express using your vehicle's plate number you will not be offered the option of changing your address.
