Fillable Form New York Change of Address (2021)

What is the New York Change of Address form?

Form MV-232, Address Change, or the New York Change of Address form is a state-level government form issued by the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that residents of New York can use to change the address on their regular or enhanced driver’s license, non-driver photo identification card, and vehicle registrations.

The DMV is a government agency responsible for vehicle-related services, including issuing licenses, registering vehicles, and, maintaining a database that contains the driver information of its residents.

The New York state of law requires New York residents who moved within the state or from another state, to notify the DMV within 10 days of any permanent address change. There is no need to report a temporary change of address.

You may or may not apply for a new license, permit, non-driver identification card, or registration document when you change your address with the DMV. Getting new documents is available at additional costs.

When you change your address, you can write the new one on the back of your driver’s license or identification card and your vehicle registration document, crossing off your old address.

The New York Change of Address form is available at the official New York DMV website. For your convenience, you may use our online PDF editor to fill out the form electronically. After completing the form, you may download and submit it to the DMV.
