What Are the Basics?
When you move, it’s your responsibility to let the Wisconsin DMV know that you are changing your address. You can do this online, by mail, through email, or by phone, making it easy to get the new address corrected.
In Wisconsin, to change your address, you just need to change your address with the postal service. If you need updated documents, then you need to pay for those.
How Do I Change My Address If I’m Moving Within Wisconsin?
If you are moving to Wisconsin, you need to notify the Wisconsin DMV within 10 days of moving to the state. You can do this by:
Mailing an Address Change Notice (Form MV3058) to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation at:
- Going online to the Wisconsin DMV website
- Emailing the DMV with your request
You will need to include your Wisconsin driver’s license or ID card number when you change your address.
How Do I Change My Address If I’m Moving Into Wisconsin?
Follow the same steps as above, but remember that you need to transfer your out-of-state license within 60 days. You will also have to update your vehicle’s registration with the state.
You still have the option of changing your address by email, in person, by calling, or by going online. Using email is not recommended, but it is allowed within Wisconsin. Email is less secure than other methods of communication, so the DMV recommends coming in person, using the USPS or going online. If you wish, you can email the Bureau of Driver Services, though, to have it handle your address change request.
