You move to a new address across town. Within how many days must you notify PennDOT of the change?
-
A.
Only when you renew your license
-
B.
Within 15 days Correct
-
C.
Within 30 days
-
D.
Within 60 days of the change
The answer is "Within 15 days"
The manual requires drivers to report a change of name or address to PennDOT within 15 days, even if the move is out of state. Answer D borrows the new-resident timeline for trading in an out-of-state license and applies it to reporting a move within Pennsylvania.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only when you renew your license
The manual requires prompt reporting rather than waiting until the next renewal cycle. Assumes address updates ride along with the renewal, as they might for other paperwork.
C. Within 30 days
The manual does not set a 30-day deadline for address changes. Rounds up to a full month, which feels administratively standard.
D. Within 60 days of the change
Sixty days is the window for a new Pennsylvania resident to trade in an out-of-state license, not for reporting a move within the state. Borrows the new-resident timeline for the wrong situation.
