How to change your address on Veterans Affairs

GovernmentChecked July 11, 20263 steps

Short answer

Sign in to Veterans Affairs, open the profile or contact section, replace your mailing address and save.

Open Veterans Affairs’s address page

Steps

  1. Sign in at VA.gov and open your Profile.
  2. Edit your mailing and/or residential address and save.
  3. Review that direct-deposit and contact info are still current.

One Veterans Affairs gotcha. One update at VA.gov propagates across VA health care, disability, pension, and education benefits, so you only need to do it once.

Menus change, so confirm on Veterans Affairs’s site.

Worth knowing for government accounts

  • Government records are the highest-stakes updates: your driver’s license, vehicle registration, tax refunds, and benefits all route to the address on file.
  • Benefits, refunds, and license renewals go to the address on file, so this is the first group to update.
