What the Flamingo DMV Office Handles

The Flamingo DMV is a Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles office located in Las Vegas. It processes driver's license renewals, replacements, and address changes, along with vehicle registration and title work. If you need to update your address on your Nevada driver's license or ID card, you can do this at Flamingo or at most other Nevada DMV locations.

This office does not handle all DMV services — some transactions like commercial driver's license (CDL) testing or certain commercial vehicle registrations may require a different location. Before you go, check the Nevada DMV website to confirm that your specific transaction is available at Flamingo.

Documents You Need to Bring

For an address change at Flamingo DMV, bring your current Nevada driver's license or ID card. This is your primary document and must be valid or expired no more than one year. If your license is lost or stolen, you will need to report it and follow the replacement process instead.

You also need proof of residency — a document dated within the last 60 days that shows your name and your new address. Acceptable documents include a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, property tax bill, or insurance policy. A bank statement or credit card statement with your address also works. Bring the original or a certified copy; a photo of the document is usually not accepted in person.

Finally, bring proof of identity if your residency document does not clearly show your name. A Social Security card, birth certificate, or passport works. If you are changing your name at the same time as your address, bring a court order or marriage certificate as proof of the name change.

Three Ways to Change Your Address

In person at Flamingo DMV: Walk in during business hours with your documents. You do not need an appointment at most Nevada DMV locations, though wait times vary. Bring all documents listed above. The transaction usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, and your new license is issued the same day. Check the Nevada DMV website for current hours before you go, as they change seasonally.

By mail: Fill out the address change form (available on the Nevada DMV website), include copies of your proof of residency and identity, and mail everything to the address listed on the form. Processing takes two to three weeks. You will receive your updated license by mail. This route works if you cannot visit in person, but it is slower and requires you to trust the mail with your documents.

Online through the Nevada DMV website: If your driver's license is current and you have not changed your name, you may be able to change your address online. You will need your driver's license number, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number. Online changes are processed within a few days, and your updated license arrives by mail. Not all address changes may have access to for online processing — the system will tell you if yours does.

What Happens After You Submit Your Change

If you changed your address in person at Flamingo, you receive your new license when ready with your updated address printed on it. Your old license is no longer valid once you receive the new one. Keep the new license in a safe place and bring it with you when you drive.

If you submitted your change by mail or online, your new license arrives at your new address within two to three weeks. During this time, your old license is still valid for driving. Once your new license arrives, destroy your old one or keep it in a safe place — do not carry both.

If you do not receive your new license within four weeks, contact the Nevada DMV to check the status. Have your driver's license number and date of birth ready. If there was an error in your address, the DMV may contact you by phone or mail to confirm the correct address before reissuing.

Other Las Vegas DMV Locations

Las Vegas has several DMV offices besides Flamingo. The Downtown Las Vegas DMV, the North Las Vegas DMV, and the Henderson DMV all handle address changes and routine transactions. Each location has different hours and may have different wait times on any given day.

If Flamingo is inconvenient or has a long wait, check the Nevada DMV website for hours and estimated wait times at other locations. Address changes are processed the same way at every office, so you can visit whichever location works best for your schedule and location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my address online if my license is expired?

No. Online address changes require a current, valid driver's license. If your license is expired, you must renew it first, either in person or by mail. Once your new license arrives, you can update your address online if you wish, or change it at the same time as your renewal if you visit in person.

What if my proof of residency is older than 60 days?

The Nevada DMV requires proof of residency dated within 60 days. If your document is older, bring a second recent document with your name and address, such as a recent utility bill or lease. If you cannot provide a recent document, contact the Nevada DMV to ask about alternatives before you visit Flamingo.

Do I need an appointment at Flamingo DMV?

Most Nevada DMV locations, including Flamingo, do not require appointments for routine transactions like address changes. You can walk in during business hours. However, check the Nevada DMV website before you go, as appointment policies can change. If appointments are required, the website will show how to schedule one.

How long does my new license take to arrive if I change my address by mail?

Mail-in address changes typically take two to three weeks from the date the DMV receives your request. Processing time depends on mail delivery and DMV workload. If you do not receive your license within four weeks, contact the Nevada DMV with your driver's license number to check the status.

Can I change my address and renew my license at the same time at Flamingo?

Yes. If your license is expiring soon or has recently expired, you can renew it and change your address in the same visit. Bring your current license, proof of residency, and proof of identity. The process takes slightly longer than an address change alone, but you will receive your renewed license with the new address the same day.
