What is Change of Address – Delaware?
The Change of Address form is the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) form on which a resident reports a new residence address, and a mailing address when it is different, so the DMV can update the records tied to their vehicle registrations.
The DMV lists it among its Vehicle Forms as Change of Address Form. It carries no form number, and the revision printed on it is rev 3/23/2026. The form explains that the Division must have your residential address on file, plus your mailing address if different, for correspondence, and asks you to give both on the form.
Page content, in order:
- Two applicant lines, each with last name, first name, middle initial, date of birth and driver license number.
- Phone number (optional) and email address (required).
- New Residence (physical address), with the state pre-printed as DE.
- Mailing Address, required if different from your residence.
- Vehicle registration information: license plate numbers for up to four vehicles.
- A certification under penalty of perjury and a signature and date line for each applicant.
After your update is processed, the DMV sends new vehicle registration card(s). The form is about registrations: it points to a separate route for driver licenses and ID cards, which can be updated online at dmv.de.gov/OnlineServices or at any DMV location at no additional fee.
Who needs to file Change of Address – Delaware?
Delaware residents who have moved and need the DMV to update the address on their vehicle registration use this form. Delaware law (21 Del. C. § 315), cited on the form, requires residents to notify the DMV within one month of an address change.
- Vehicle owners listing up to four vehicles by license plate number on a single form.
- Two applicants on the same form: the form has two name lines and two signature lines, and its certification is worded "I/we".
- People whose mailing address differs from their new residence, who must give both addresses.
The applicant certifies, under penalty of perjury, that the information is true and correct and that they are bona fide residents of Delaware.
This form is not the route for updating a driver license or ID card. The form says you can do that online at dmv.de.gov/OnlineServices or by visiting any DMV location at no additional fee.
When to file Change of Address – Delaware
Submit the form within one month of changing your address. The form cites 21 Del. C. § 315, which requires Delaware residents to notify the DMV within one month of an address change.
The form prints no other deadline. Once the DMV processes the update, you receive new vehicle registration card(s). If you have questions about timing or your registration, the form gives the DMV Customer Service email, [email protected], and the phone number (302) 744-2500.

The form names no other submission channel. For questions, email [email protected] or call (302) 744-2500. If you also need to update a driver license or ID card, the form says to do so online at dmv.de.gov/OnlineServices or at any DMV location, which is a separate step from mailing this form.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving the email address blank: the form marks Email Address as required, while the phone number is optional.
- Giving only a residence address when your mailing address is different; the form says the mailing address is required if different from your residence.
- Mailing the form unsigned. The certification under penalty of perjury needs the applicant's signature and date.
- Handwriting that is hard to read; the instructions say to type or print legibly.
- Writing a PO box or mail service box as the New Residence; that line asks for the physical address, and boxes belong on the Mailing Address line.
- Mailing the form to a DMV location instead of the P.O. Box 698 address in Dover given for the Vehicle Services Help Desk.
- Sending this form to update a driver license or ID card; the form directs you to dmv.de.gov/OnlineServices or any DMV location for that.
- Waiting more than one month after moving, when 21 Del. C. § 315 requires notice within one month.
