Which SS Office / Does it matter..?

You can go to any of them.

Oh great, thanks! Shortest thread ever

I did try to google this answer btw before coming here.

Oh really? But how would they know whether or not it's correct?

I went to one slightly further from my home because it actually had good parking. Pretty sure it's not important which one you go to

By law you have 30 days to update your address, so yeah I would definitely take care of that now!

Well shoot. He's been here 5 years and I've been here 2.5 years.

How is this different from college students living elsewhere but using their parent's address as their permanent address?

We can go to any office here. However, if you get a big jerk wad like I did the first words out of his mouth will be "you know there's an office in your county,right?" Why yes Mr. wad I know but your line is always shorter and the parking lot is easier to get to. Oh, and I live 15 min closer to this one. It's been a couple months and I'm still a little salty about that if you can't tell

@op as a college student I considered my parents address as my permanent address still, so that's why I didn't change it in school.

I went to a ss office in Seattle and I live in Arizona so I'm pretty sure you're good to go to any!

@Brianna - that's what I'm saying. If I still have one address as my permanent address, why do I need to change it just because I live somewhere else?

I think if you and H have been where you are now for over 2.5 years, that's your permanent address. Bills, insurance, and work documents should all have your permanent address too. I waited a while when I moved from Iowa to Illinois to change my address on everything just because it is kind of a pain, but I felt like I was hiding lol.

Makes sense. I guess it seems like a waste of money to me to keep getting a new license for every rental

Agreed lol but u don't think you have to get a new license every time you move (in Illinois). You just have to update your registration and your records with the SOS.

Oh. What. I didn't know that!!

Here's where I have found information when we have looked at possibly switching apartments: https://www.dmv.org/il-illinois/change-address.php

Brianna is right. You can just go to cyberdriveillinois.com and change your address associated with your license. No cost. When they run your info it shows correctly.

Here's a new question. How do they know where you live or not live?

I was pulled over a couple weeks ago because I missed/ didn't see a stop sign. He looked at my license and everything and let me go. Didn't mention the address. Anyone know?

The addresses for your license, registration, and insurance should all be the same. Most places don't charge to change the address on your license, just to renew it when it expires.

@Bulbasaur - they are all the same! I just don't live at that address, although I do visit often. When I still lived with my parents and we moved houses, i had to pay for a new license / address change.

Yeah, I use my parents address for voting as well! For anything "official", i use their address. For regular mail and work, i use our current address
