Change your personal address with CRA
How do I change my personal address with the CRA?
Tell CRA when your address changes so it can send correspondence and maintain your account information. The official guide provides account, telephone and postal routes, with separate rules for someone acting on your behalf. Updating CRA is a distinct task from changing an Ontario licence or health-card record; review each relevant government service after a move.
Where to begin
- Open CRA's personal address-change guidance.
- Choose the official account, phone or postal method available to you.
- Check the completed update and review other services that need your new address.
Before you open the official service
For your own personal CRA account, open Profile, then Contact information, and edit the address.
- For a phone update, have the identity and tax-account information listed by CRA ready. A representative must meet CRA’s authorization rules.
- For mail, use Form RC325 and its mailing instructions. NETFILE does not change your address.
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
CRA does not automatically update other departments when you change your address. Business addresses have their own instructions.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
Practical questions
How long can this route take?
CRA lists immediate updates online, same-day updates by phone, and four to six weeks by mail.
- Other departments still need their own update.
