Driver's license for I-751?

[Gilda 2]

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and I have a question: Is it important to include copies of driver's licenses as part of the evidence when filing I-751? It's not required in the I-751 instruction, but many people seem to include it. The thing is my and my husband's licenses have different addresses on them currently. Mine has our current address because I got my license not long ago, and his has our previous address. I know if we want to submit copies of our licenses, he'll have to get the address updated. I just want to know if it's important enough to include our licenses in the application package? Thanks!

We submitted copies of driving license as additional proofs of common residency.

I would update the driving license if it does not take you a lot of time.

Otherwise it is not necessary if you have other documents to show common residency such as rent, mortgage, credit card bill etc..

My husband's has his previous address on too. What you can do to counter this is send in other documents with both your names and the current address (bank statements etc) and include your license as additional evidence that you live in the same place as him.

Check to see how much it costs for his license to be changed. In Colorado, for instance, it's free and you simply write the new address on the back.

Thanks everyone. Here in NM changing the address on a license is the same as getting a new license. You have to pay and apply in person, so it's a bit annoying. We have quite a lot of other evidence, so I guess we'll skip this one.

We are in California and the DMV has the same process for NM. So we skipped it. I don't want to mislead the USCIS that we live in two different addresses. I will update my driver's license if they throw a RFE. I think we have enough evidence of ongoing relationship and common residency.

Just go to the DMV and get it fixed.

Here's New Hampshire's take on it, taken directly from the DMV website:

State law requires New Hampshire drivers to notify the DMV within 10 days of an address change. To change your address, fill out a Record Change Request form and either bring it to any DMV office in person or mail it to the Concord office at:

NH Dept. of Safety
DMV - Driver Licensing
23 Hazen Drive
Concord, NH 03305

The form requires that you provide your name, date of birth and both your new legal and mailing addresses, along with other identifying information. This form will only be accepted if it is signed and dated.

If you bring your completed Record Change Request Form to the DMV in person, you can purchase a replacement license with the new address for a $3.00 fee. You must hand in your old license and you will be given a 60-day, temporary paper license. Your permanent license will be mailed to your new address within 60 days.

If you are changing your address and your license has been lost or stolen, you are not eligible for a $3.00 replacement; you will need to apply in person for a duplicate driver license.

NM is New Mexico and not New Hampshire
