Alternative Resources address change

Does everyone who uses the Alternative Resource address at 3700 Westport Ave. in Sioux Falls, realize that you will have to make
a trip to SD to change your Drivers lic to reflect their new address?
Your drivers lic needs to match your checks address. This can't be
done through the mail. Any suggestions out there to avoid this ?

  • We have used checks that had a different address than our legal address a number of times. Mainly when we mail in a payment or such. We don't use our checks for everyday purchases if we can help it.

    Scottiemom post is the same as we received from Dakota Post via email. No need to make a special trip to renew until your 5 year renewal is up. Nice to see a post that addresses the question rather than a flip and useless reply. JMHO
  • This is what I got yesterday from Dakota Post aka Alternative Resources:

    Do I have to update my Driver’s License right away?
    a. No, you do not need to update your Driver’s License immediately. However, when you do renew,
    the same rules apply:
    i. Proof of Address - one document, no more than one year old, proving your personal mailbox
    (PMB) service address (receipt from DakotaPost or piece of mail with new address on it).
    ii. Overnight Stay Receipt - no more than one year old, at a hotel or campground in SD.
    iii. Residency Affidavit – needs to be filled out, signed, and notarized

    *The DMV has been notified and aware that our clients will be updating their address when they renew.

    I don't know that checks are a problem. Often times when presenting a check, one would be asked, "Is this the correct address?" If not, they write it on the check.
