Submit the Documents

Payment of Fees
You will be required to pay a service fee for the address change. The exact amount can vary, so it’s a good idea to check with the TRA office or the TRA website for the current fees.
Processing Time
- The processing time may vary, but typically it takes a few days to a week for the address change to be updated.
- TRA may issue a new driving license with the updated address or provide a certificate or receipt confirming the change until a new card is issued.
Collection of the Updated License
Once the processing is complete, you can return to the TRA office to collect your updated driving license. In some cases, the new license may be delivered to your address if requested.
Tips:
- It’s advisable to change the address on your driving license as soon as possible after moving to avoid any issues with legal compliance.
- Keep your receipt or proof of application with you while waiting for the updated license, in case you need to prove your address has been submitted for an update.
