SCDMV Form DL-222. Change of Residency Certification

The SCDMV Form DL-222, also known as the Change of Residency Certification, is used by South Carolina residents who have moved to a new address within the state and need to update their residency information with the Department of Motor Vehicles. The form consists of several important fields, including the individual's personal information such as their full name, current address, and previous address, as well as their driver's license number and date of birth.

When filling out this form, it is important to ensure that all the information provided is accurate and up to date. Failure to provide correct information may result in delays or issues with updating the individual's residency status in the DMV's records.

An example of when this form might be needed is when a South Carolina resident moves to a new address within the state and needs to update their driver's license and vehicle registration information. By submitting this form, they can notify the DMV of their new address and ensure that any correspondence or important documents are sent to the correct location.

An alternative form that may serve a similar purpose is the Change of Address form provided by the USPS (United States Postal Service). However, it is important to note that while this form notifies the USPS of an address change, it does not update residency information with the DMV. Therefore, it is still necessary to fill out the SCDMV Form DL-222 to officially update one's residency status in the DMV's records.
