In Iowa
Driver's license and ID
Iowa law requires you to report a mailing address change within 30 days, which you can do online or by mailing a Change of Address Notice. To get a card showing a new residential address, schedule an appointment at a DMV location, since this cannot be done online.
Voter registration
You must update your Iowa voter registration when you change your address. Submit a new registration online (Iowa driver's license or non-operator ID required) or send a paper form to your county auditor. If you moved within your county, you can also report the change at your polling place on Election Day.
Across the United States
Internal Revenue Service
Tell the IRS by using your new address when you file, by sending Form 8822 or a signed written statement, or by telling them in person or by phone.
Mail forwarding
Change your address with USPS online or at your local Post Office. Mail is then forwarded to your new address. Standard mail forwarding lasts 12 months.
