Who Should Use Form 4057-A
This form is specifically for South Carolina residents who need to update their address and prefer to do it by mail. You should use this form if you:
- Are an existing SC license or ID card holder who has moved within the state.
- Are a new resident who has already titled and registered your vehicle and now need to update your address.
- Prefer not to use the online system or visit an SCDMV branch in person.
This form is not used for changing your name or for online or in-person address updates.
What Documents Do You Need with Form 4057-A
One of the benefits of using Form 4057-A is its simplicity. You do not need to mail any other documents along with it.
- The only item required is the completed and signed Form 4057-A itself.
You do not need to send a copy of your driver’s license, a utility bill, or any other proof of address. Your signature on the form certifies the new information.
How to Fill Out Form 4057-A
This form updates your address for all SCDMV records. Submitting it is completely free.
- Section 1: Applicant Information
- Fill in your full name, date of birth, SC license/ID number, and Social Security Number.
- Section 2 & 3: Your New Address
- Enter your new residential address (where you live). This cannot be a P.O. Box.

After the SCDMV processes your form, you will be mailed a new vehicle registration card with your updated address. Note that you will not automatically receive a new driver’s license; you must order that separately for a fee if you want an updated card.
