How to change your address

If you move, notify us of your new address as soon as possible.

Reminder
If you receive a Canada Pension Plan or Old Age Security benefit, you should also change your address with Human Resources and Social Development Canada.

By Internet

You can make changes or view the address and telephone number information we have on file for you online.
If you have an epass with CRA, simply login to My Account and select the Change my address option.

If you do not have an epass with CRA, you must change your address by contacting us by phone, fax or by mail. Please note that we must have your current address on file prior to registering for an epass.

By mail or fax

Send your request by mail or by fax to your tax centre. Be sure to include your:

• signature
• social insurance number
• new address
• the effective date

By phone

Call our Individual Income Tax Enquiries telephone service at 1-800-959-8281.

Why is it important?

When you tell us your new address in advance:

• you can avoid any disruption to benefit payments you may be receiving, such as the GST/HST credit, the Universal Child Care Benefit, the Canada Child Tax Benefit and benefits under any related provincial and territorial programs.
• next year we can mail your return package to the correct address.

Notes

Please note that we will not forward your new information to other government departments, except Elections Canada, but only if you gave us your authorization by answering "Yes" to that specific question on page one of your return. If you want other departments or organizations informed, you must contact them directly.

If you use our direct deposit service and you have a new account at a financial institution, please also inform us of your new account.
