Changing your address

When you move, you must change the address on both your driver's licence and—if you have one—your insurance policy.

Changing your address on your driver's licence

You must change the address on your driver’s licence within 10 days of moving.

You can change the address on your driver's licence three ways—by phone, in-person or online.

Option 1: Call us

To change your address by phone, call us at these numbers.

Victoria: 250-978-8300
Monday to Friday 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Saturday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Elsewhere in B.C.: 1-800-950-1498
Monday to Friday 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Saturday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Note: Please have your driver’s licence number ready when you call.

Option 2: Visit a driver licensing office

You can change your address in person at any driver licensing office.

Option 3: Change your address online

To update your driver's licence, we recommend using the B.C. government’s online address change service.

If you have not received your address change sticker within two weeks, please call us or visit a driver licensing office.

New change of address sticker

We're currently phasing in a new change of address sticker that goes on the front of your BCID or driver's licence. All driver licensing offices will have the new sticker by the end of 2012.

Please note, older stickers that go on the back are still valid until you renew your licence or BCID. If you change your address online or over the phone, you'll also get the old sticker.

Changing your address on your insurance

To change the address your insurance, you need to go to an Autoplan broker in person to sign documents.

Important: If your policy isn’t up-to-date, you might not be covered in the event of a claim.
