The requirement to change your address on your driver's license after moving to a new address depends on the specific laws of the state where you reside. In general, most states require that you update your address on your driver's license within a certain period of time after moving. In some states, the time frame for updating your address on your driver's license is relatively short, such as 10 or 30 days. Other states may allow a longer period of time, such as 60 or 90 days. If you are only planning to live at your new address for 15 months, you may be able to avoid changing your address on your driver's license by providing proof that your move is temporary. However, the requirements for proving a temporary move may vary by state. In general, if you are considered a resident of the state where you are living for an extended period of time, you will likely be required to update your address on your driver's license, regardless of how long you plan to live there. If you are unsure of the specific laws in your state regarding changing your address on your driver's license, you should check with your state's department of motor vehicles or equivalent agency to determine what the requirements are. Failure to update your address on your driver's license can result in fines or other penalties, so it's important to stay informed and comply with the laws in your state.
