Driver's License Address Update
If you hold a driving licence you must notify the public safety commission for your new address after moving (Road Traffic Act, art. 94(1)). You can do this at a nearby police station or driving licence centre, and there is no fee for this notification. Those who hold only a My Number licence and have completed the enrolment step need only file the address change with their municipality.
