FID change address

Posted: 12/13/2005 9:20:18 PM EDT

6 months from now I'll will be relocating to a new house. Old address will become history, I got my FID for 5.5 months. do I have to wait that long again just to change address? I wish I'm already moving to PA, but wife and me decided to stay until retirement. Any info?

It shouldn't take as long as the first time but it depends on how your town does things. Mine took 2 1/2 months when I moved two blocks away!

I moved 1 town over.

It took 30 days for the new FID.

The old FID was still good until they issued the new one.

No big deal.

The law does say that you have 30 days to change the address, so the FID should be good during that period. Your DL needs to be changed within 7 days of moving.

good to hear that FID would not expire as soon as you move out.

You will not be able to purchase anything if the address on your DL and FID do not match exactly.

I moved three times in the 15 or so years I had my NJ FID. The first move I went from Lawrence Township to Hamilton Township. That address change took about 2.5 weeks, as I recall. The second time I moved within Hamilton, that address change took 3 days. It 100% depends on the township involved...
