What to Bring Before You Go

For vehicle registration, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and the vehicle's title or proof of ownership.

If you are changing your address on your driver license, bring your current license and one document showing your new address — a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement all work. For address changes on vehicle registration, bring your current registration and the same proof of address.

Bring your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number for any transaction that creates a new record. If you do not have your Social Security card, bring a birth certificate or passport instead. The office staff can tell you over the phone whether you need additional documents for your specific transaction.
