If you have moved to a new home, your address may need to be updated on your driver’s licence records. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) allows licence holders to change their details, provided they can supply the relevant supporting documents. (Nigeria Drivers Licence)
Keeping your information accurate is useful when renewing, replacing or updating your driver’s licence.
Can You Change the Address on Your Driving Licence?
Yes. FRSC’s current driver’s licence FAQ states that licence holders can change their details later, but relevant supporting documents are required. (Nigeria Drivers Licence)
The driver’s licence application system includes residential and contact address information as part of the applicant’s personal details. (Nigeria Drivers Licence)
How to Change Your Address
Start by confirming the address you want recorded and gathering documents that can support the change.
You may need to deal with an FRSC Drivers Licence Centre or the relevant processing office, particularly where the change requires your existing licence record to be updated.
FRSC provides a list of Drivers Licence Centres by state and LGA, making it possible to identify a centre where licence services are handled. (FRSC)
Can You Change It Online?
The FRSC portal currently provides online services for driver’s licence applications, renewals, reissues and editing unpaid applications. (Nigeria Drivers Licence)
If you have already received your licence and simply want to change the address on your existing record, check with an FRSC Drivers Licence Centre about the appropriate process rather than assuming the online application editor will change an active licence.
What Documents May Be Required?
The exact supporting documents depend on the type of information being changed. FRSC confirms that supporting documentation is required when changing licence details. (Nigeria Drivers Licence)
Have your existing driver’s licence and relevant identification or proof of the new address available when making the request.
Update Your Address When Renewing
If your licence is approaching expiry, updating the address during the renewal process may be convenient. FRSC’s current system allows eligible holders to apply for renewal from 30 days before the licence expires. (Nigeria Drivers Licence)
Make sure the new information is entered correctly before submitting and paying for the application.
Why Accurate Driver Information Matters
An outdated address may not stop you from driving, but keeping your records accurate can make future licence transactions easier.
This is particularly useful if you move between cities such as Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Port Harcourt or Kano and later need to renew, reissue or update your licence.
