How to change your address with the SCDMV
To change your address with the SCDMV, update your driver's license or state ID on the official SC site, then update your vehicle registration separately. Both usually need to move with you, and most states handle the license update online.
Confirm the deadline on the official site. Most states ask for a license and registration update soon after a move, but the exact window changes, so this page will not invent a South Carolina cutoff date.
Steps
- Update your driver's license or state ID at the official site: https://www.scdmvonline.com/. Most states handle it online; have your license number and new address ready. Some charge a small fee for a reprinted card.
- Update your vehicle registration too. It's often a separate record from your license. Tell your auto insurer too, since premiums follow your garaging address.
- Re-register to vote. A license update usually does not move your voter registration. Do it at vote.gov.
