Driver's license information change after submitting DS160

[anithin1987]

Hello - 

I recently submitted my DS 160 and scheduled my appointment in Vancouver, BC in Jan. After I submitted the DS160, I got a new license card with my updated address on it. Since I already submitted my DS160, I dont think its possible to update this information there. My question is 

1. Can I show the new license and old license when asked during the interview?

2. Is it possible to update license information on DS160 post submission?

If anyone has been through this situation, please advise

You DL number should not change, you don't need to update DS160.

@User099 - Thank you for your prompt response. Actually in the state of WA, they had made a rule last year that any new license cards issued for renewals/replacements will carry a new ID owing to the REAL ID act. Agreed that going forward it might not change but this time it will. 

In this case, can I just carry both the unexpired license card and show the officer if/when asked?

Start new DS 160 form and submit it. Take the old DS 160 confirmation page along with new confirmation page to finger print and there they can update it.

You can do as Gopal suggested incase you have to submit a new DS160.

I got my Real ID few months ago and my DL number did not change. May be its different for different states.

@User099 Interesting, I am still waiting on the license to be mailed, but the temporary license they issued during the mean time has a different license number. If the license number indeed doesn't change then it would be good. 

Besides the new DS160 option, is there an option to change or inform this in the consulate on the day of the interview?

You can mention it to the VO, since this is out of your control it might not be something they will press you on. 

But if you want to take a new DS160 and get it updated at ASC appointment is also fine.
