(1) (a) Whenever any person, after
applying for or receiving a driver's license or identification card, moves from the address named
in such application or in the license or identification card issued to such person or when the
name of the licensee is changed, such person shall, within thirty days, provide notice to the
department of such person's old and new address and the number of any license or identification
card held by such person. Such notice shall be provided to the department in writing or in
electronic form on the department's official website. A licensee who changes his or her name
shall, within thirty days, apply in person to renew such license pursuant to section 42-2-118 and
in compliance with sections 42-2-107 and 42-2-305.
(b) Repealed. / (Deleted by amendment, L. 2005, p. 645, § 11, effective May 27, 2005.)
(2) All notices and orders required to be given to any licensee under this article 2 must
be provided through electronic notification or given in writing and, if mailed, postpaid by first-
class mail to the licensee at the last-known address shown by the records kept by the department
pursuant to this article 2. The mailing is sufficient notice in accord with the motor vehicle laws.
Any notice or order of the department mailed first class under the provisions of this title 42
creates a presumption for administrative purposes that the notice or order was received if the
department maintains a copy of the notice or order and maintains a certification that the notice or
order was deposited in the United States mail by an employee of the department. Evidence of a
copy of the notice mailed to the last-known address of the licensee, as shown by the records kept
by the department pursuant to this article 2, and a certification of mailing by a department
employee; evidence of delivery of notice in person to the last-known address of the licensee, as
shown by the records kept by the department pursuant to this article 2; or evidence of personal
service upon the licensee or upon an attorney appearing on the licensee's behalf of the order of
denial, cancellation, suspension, or revocation of the license by the executive director of the
department or by the executive director's duly authorized representative is prima facie proof that
the licensee received personal notice of the denial, cancellation, suspension, or revocation.
(2.5) Repealed.
(3) Any person who violates subsection (1) of this section commits a class B traffic
infraction.
