Renewal & Address Change

[Sternen]

Good day everyone!   I usually just lurkand don't post a whole lot.  I have done a lot of searching but haven't found the answer to my question.

 

I am coming up close to to my expiration date and have not received my renewal application in the mail yet. My current permit expires March 24th of this year.  I know I still have plenty of time, but I am starting to get concerned for several reasons.

 

My wife and I just purchased our 1st home and close on the 26th of February.  We will still have the apartment through the end of March while we paint and get the house ready before moving all the big things like beds and couches on March 25th.

 

When we got married in April of 2013 we moved to our "marital home".  I updated my address following the instructions on TN.gov.  It looked like the web address for permits and driver's licensees was the same so i updated my address and moved on.  like an idiot, I didn't order duplicates of my license or permit with the new address on it.

 

Now that my permit expiration date is coming close I am starting to second guess myself.  If I update for one, does it update for both?  Did I screw up?  I would hate for the application to go to my old address that I left in 2013. 

 

I am off this Friday and am thinking of just going down and filling out the application at the DMV in person.    Should I just wait until we close on the house and THEN go do it in person listing my newest address?

 

Thoughts?

I think they just send out automatic renewal notice about 6 weeks before expiration, so it could still be in pipeline.

 

But to make sure all is okay and to prevent having to do the DMV visit/wait, I guess you could just call TNDOS and get them to send renewal form to whichever address you want and update correct address on the form.

 

Call (615) 251-8590 to get it straight is what I'd do.

We (Wife and I) just moved in December.  We had to update BOTH DL & CHP and ordered duplicates of each.  We did this at the local DMV, and were in and out within 20 min with paper copies of our updated IDs while we waited on the new plastic ones.

 

Depending on your local, it might be quicker to just go to the DMV and get it all done in one shot, I think it will cost the same, other than a bit of your time.

Thanks for the replies, guys.  If they go out 6 weeks prior to expiration I should be getting it any day now.  I have a few days off over spring break, so if I haven't received it by then I will just trek out to the DMV in Oakland (I live in Collierville) and do it in person there.  The closing on the house will be done by then and I can just do everything in one shot.

 

Thanks again!
