Each state handles this matter differently.
Many allow you to update your address through their Web site. Others ask you to submit a completed change of address form (you can usually download this from the site). Some permit you to change your address by calling the motor vehicle agency headquarters. And, still others insist you take care of this matter at a branch office.
This applies to in-state address changes as well as when you're leaving the state. Many people make the mistake of not notifying their DMV after a move, thinking the post office will forward the mail. However, some state DMVs refuse to allow their mail to be forwarded, so you might miss out on some important mailings.
Also, when you leave a state, it's a smart idea to notify the DMV. Why? Because it will stop the DMV from thinking you let your registration, insurance, or license expire after you don't respond to their mailings. And, it will prevent unwanted mailings containing information about you from being passed around from agency to agency.
