Updating Your Documents
After changing your address, you may need to update your driver’s license, ID card, or vehicle registration to reflect the new address. For licenses and IDs, you can write your new address in the designated area using permanent ink. For vehicle registrations, you can use an address label or sticker to cover the old address and write in the new one.
Additional Considerations
When changing your address with the RMV, it’s important to also notify your insurance provider, local assessor’s office, and your city or town’s election official to ensure all your records are updated. This will help avoid any issues with vehicle registration, excise tax, and voter registration.For more information and to access the RMV’s online address change services, visit the official Massachusetts government website: Massachusetts RMV – Change Your Address.
