How quickly must you update your driver's license address after moving?

Every US state requires drivers to update their license address within a specified time after moving — typically 10 to 30 days. Failure to update can result in fines and complications with insurance and vehicle registration. Some states allow online address updates; others require an in-person visit or a mail-in form. The license itself does not always need to be replaced (a sticker or update fee may suffice), but the official record must be current. Vehicle registration and insurance must also be updated with the new address. Important mail from the DMV — license renewals, court notices, registration reminders — goes to the address on record.
