How to change your address with the Tennessee Department of Safety
To change your address with the Tennessee Department of Safety, update your driver's license or state ID at the official TN 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/registration address update soon after a move, but the exact window changes — this page will not invent a Tennessee cutoff date. Check the current rule below before you rely on it.
The short version
- Update your driver's license or state ID at the official site:https://www.tn.gov/safety.html. 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 — and tell your auto insurer, since premiums follow your garaging address.
- Re-register to vote. A license update usually does not move your voter registration — do it atvote.gov.
