If you change your address you must notify VicRoads within 14 days. It is an offence if you fail to do so and fines may apply. Read the information below carefully before you change your address.
There are no fees for changing your address with VicRoads. You do not need to replace your current driver licence when you change your residential address. We will post you an address sticker to put on the back of your driver licence.
To change your address on your driver licence or vehicle registration you must provide:
your driver licence or learner permit number (if you have one)

* Garaged means the place nominated by the registered operator as the place where the vehicle is normally kept.
