Texas change-of-address checklist

Short answer

Moving means a string of separate updates, not one form that covers everything. Start with Texas DPS, vehicle records, voter registration, USPS forwarding, toll accounts, insurance, utilities, and any tax or benefit agency that sends notices.

Next steps

1. Update a Texas driver license or ID within 30 days when required; use online service when eligible.
2. Update your vehicle registration, insurance, toll accounts, and plates.
3. Update voter registration separately, then confirm the record.
4. Use USPS forwarding and IRS Form 8822 when those records apply; never send an SSN through ATX Untangled.

Key facts

• Texas DPS: update a driver license or ID address within 30 days of moving; online service works when eligible.
• Vehicle registration, voter registration, USPS forwarding, toll accounts, and insurance are separate updates; no single form covers them all.
• IRS Form 8822 covers federal tax records.
