Can i have my license mailed to a different state

In most cases, you can have your driver's license mailed to a different state, but there are some requirements and considerations to keep in mind. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Check with your state's DMV: Before requesting a license to be mailed to a different state, check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to see if they allow it. Some states may have specific rules or restrictions.
2. Verify the recipient's eligibility: Make sure the person receiving the license is eligible to receive it. For example, if you're moving to a new state, you'll need to update your address with the DMV in your new state before requesting a new license.
3. Provide proof of identity and residency: You may need to provide proof of identity and residency to the DMV in your new state. This could include documents such as a utility bill, lease agreement, or passport.
4. Pay any applicable fees: You may need to pay a fee for the license to be mailed to a different state. This fee varies by state, so check with your DMV for more information.
5. Consider a temporary permit: If you're moving to a new state, you may need to obtain a temporary permit or license until your new license is processed. This can vary by state, so check with your DMV for more information.

Some states that allow licenses to be mailed to a different state include:
