\"address<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At TicketFit<\/a>, our Florida traffic ticket lawyer has helped thousands of driver’s with their license issues. And while no one should ignore a suspended license or an outstanding traffic ticket, many people fail to keep the address on their license current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, our attorney gives you three reasons you should change the address on your license immediately after a move:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. To Avoid Outstanding Traffic Tickets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all traffic tickets are issued in person by the police. Some, such as red light camera tickets<\/a>, are mailed to the address on your driver’s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you fail update your address, you may end up with one or more outstanding traffic tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. To Avoid a Suspended License<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Letters from the Department of Motor Vehicles (commonly know as the DMV) about your driving privileges and traffic court notices, are both mailed to the address on your license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, if you miss an important letter from the department or you fail to appear in court as required by a court notice, your license will be suspended. Not showing up to court in a criminal case can also result in a bench warrant for your arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because driving with a suspended license in Florida is a crime, you’re going to want to keep that address up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Because It’s the Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under Florida Statute 322.19<\/a>, you must<\/em> change your address within 30 days of moving. If you fail to do so, you risk getting a traffic ticket with a hefty fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Change the Address on Your Florida Driver’s License<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, changing the address on your driver’s license is easy. You can do it online at gorenew.com<\/a> or in person at your local driver’s license office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you already have an outstanding traffic ticket, a suspended license, or a ticket for not changing your address, don’t worry.\u00a0Call our traffic ticket lawyer at (305) 775-3720 or send him an email<\/a> for a free consultation. He’ll be happy to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
