DFPS staff and caregivers inform the youth or young adult about their responsibility to update their address on their driver license or state ID card with DPS within 30 days of certain changes. If the caseworker’s office address was used, the youth must notify DPS of the new address for one of the following reasons:

• They leave extended foster care.
• They turn 18 and leave foster care.
• They are discharged from DFPS conservatorship prior to turning 18.

In addition, if the youth or young adult used their placement address as their mailing address with DPS and have not used the caseworker’s office address, they must update their address whenever their placement changes.
