You may now change your mailing address online by creating a personal myBMV account. Through myBMV you may register to receive e-mail reminders of your driver's license expiration date, print your driving record, and update your address and insurance information.

Changing Your Permanent Address

If you have an Indiana license, permit, or identification card you must notify the BMV of a change of address and apply for an amended license, permit, or identification card within 30 days of the address change.

A permanent address change must be completed at a BMV license branch so that you can be issued an amended license, permit, or identification card. You need to bring with you a computer-generated document such as a utility bill or pay check stub that includes your name and new address.

Changing Your Name
