In New York
Driver's license and ID
If you move, you must change your address with the DMV within 10 days. The online transaction is currently unavailable, so visit a DMV office with form MV-232 or mail the completed form to the License Production Bureau.
Vehicle registration
The 10-day rule also covers your vehicle records. When you change the address for your vehicle registration, the DMV also updates your title record, unless the name on your registration does not exactly match your title. In that case, call the Title Services Bureau at 1-518-486-4714.
Voter registration
You can change your voter registration address with the Board of Elections online voter registration portal, or with a voter registration form mailed to your county board of elections.
