While updating your address online is a breeze, there's a catch (there's always a catch, right?). While it updates your address on file, it doesn't automatically generate a new license with your new digs. So, if you crave the satisfaction of a physical ID reflecting your current location, you'll still need to visit a Driver Services Facility at some point. But hey, at least you won't be starting from scratch!
