Driver's License/Address Change

[spanky]

do you have to have proof of address to get a new license with a new address? i've done this before but it's been over 3 years.

I thought change of address was free....

 

[Guate_shooter]

Dont think so, but its been like a year since I did mine and I hardly remember what I did last week.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right. I just didn't want to sit in line for 38 hours just to be told I need proof...

Spanky do they have any small DMV's around your area? I did mine at a very rural one and they were happy to finally get a customer in hahahahaha!

 

[Guate_shooter]

And now that you mention it I believe you could actually do it online, I remember when it was time to re nue mine they sent me a letter saying I could pay for it online or over the phone and they would mail it to me but it had to have the same picture as last years.

As far as I know there's only one close to me and you have to get there by at least 730 to not have more than 10 people in front of you.

Damn, so yalls DMVs suck ass too. I don't feel so bad anymore.

Go to Grammercy on the side st. by Winn Dixie.
I've never been in there more than 15-20 minutes, and that was on a bad day.

As long as it hasn't expired, change of addresses are free. I had to do that last year.

If you want to be in and out in 5 minutes (no lie), go to the DMV in Hahnville at the courthouse. I always make the drive from here because it's so worth it.

Spanky you may be able to do it on line. I renewed my licence by mail ,last year. They mailed me a sticker to put on the back .

I have to do it for my tax returns for my home buyers credit so I'd rather do the license than the sticker.

Unless it has changed, I don't think they allow that if your address is different.

From their website:

If your address is different than what appears on the face of your license, you are not eligible for internet renewal. Louisiana law requires your current address to appear on the face of your license. You must visit an office to renew.

But I'd give them a call. Perhaps it has changed. I wish it would.

Mine was free and no proof required. Just did it last week! Gotta get my NH permit address changed now!

I also did mine a couple months ago when I bought a house. It's free, and I didn't need anything though I did bring a bill so they wouldn't screw up the spelling. If you make it towards Lafayette anytime the one here in Breaux Bridge was pretty empty when I went.

stay far far away from the one on airline in metairie and the one on the CCC bridge unless you have about 4 hours to spare
