Final answer:
It is true that licensees and applicants must notify the commissioner of any address changes. This is critical for things like maintaining a California driver license and ensuring voting registration is current after moving.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that every licensee and applicant for a license must immediately notify the commissioner in writing of any change in their residence address, business address, or mailing address is true. In several contexts, such as vehicle registration and voting registration, address changes require prompt notification to the relevant authorities. If you hold a California driver license, ID card, or have a vehicle registered and there is a change in your address, you need to update this information accordingly. This can often be done through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
For a commercial license driver maintaining a California residence address is essential, else the license can be downgraded to a non-commercial status. Similarly, when it comes to voting, the DMV can change your voting address if you have moved but still live within the same county. However, if you move to a new county or you are not registered to vote there, a new voter registration card must be completed.
