Q: How can I get my 21 year old daughter to change her drivers license address to where she has been living now for a year?
She’s has told me numerous times that she'll do it but she has not done so yet at this point and it’s been over a year now. Thanks
A: You probably can't force her to change it. But what does it matter to you?
Barry W. Kaufman agrees with this answer
A: She is an adult. You have no ability to force her to do anything, and the fact that her driver license information is incorrect is an issue between her and the state; it doesn't affect you in any way.
A: She's violating the law, likely subjecting her to a potential fine if caught. If she uses her old address for voting purposes and now lives in a different precinct, she may even be subject to a potential criminal charge. If you'd like to try forceful persuasion, you can hire a lawyer to draft a memorandum of law on the violation and penalties if caught. Of course, there'd be no way of knowing if she'll be persuaded.
