A student must inform the DSO and the USCIS of any legal changes to his or her name or of any change of address, within 10 days of the change, in a manner prescribed by the school.

A student enrolled at a SEVIS school can notify the USCIS by providing a notice of a change of address within 10 days to the DSO, who in turn shall enter the information in SEVIS within 21 days of notification by the student.

A student enrolled at a non-SEVIS school must submit a notice of change of address, Form AR-11, to the USCIS, within 10 days of the change.

Except in the case of a student who cannot receive mail where he or she resides, the address provided by the student must be the actual physical location where the student resides rather than a mailing address. In cases where a student provides a mailing address, the school must maintain a record of, and must provide upon request from the USCIS, the actual physical location where the student resides.
