I wanted to change my address for my driver’s license. I searched on google ‘Texas drivers license Change of Address’, and the first thing that comes up is a site that says www.portal-texas.org/DMV/Address_Change. I clicked it, and it goes to a page where one can select what they would like to do with their driver’s license. i selected Change of Address, and it leads to onlinedriverslicenses.org. Many people have been tricked by this website. They promise a gas-rebate card, but when I go to look-up the gas card, the website does not specify how to do anything. It’s all very vague and then after clicking two links I finally read that I am required to charge $75 at a gas station of my choice, then I will receive the rebates. I do not know if this is normal, but there sure were a lot of hoops to jump through. I asked for a refund and received it, thankfully. Reviews online for this site said much the same as I am saying, plus some of the reviewers claimed that their credit card continued to receive random charges from out of nowhere. I wisely cancelled my card and am ordering a new one. They try to act cordial and customer-oriented when a customer see through it.
That’s probably why they’re still in existence. I think this is bad business and misleading. Their site does say that they are not government affiliated and provided information, but how was I supposed to know that is all they provide. The USPS uses a third party to help with changing address online, including a site that provides a way to print out a form for voter registration. That site does not charge, only USPS charge $1. This site(onlinedriverslicenses) misleads and I believe is scamming without scamming, because their site does say that they are not government affiliated and they do give refunds. It’s the reviews I’ve read that tells me that countless people just trying to change their address for their drivers license – something that is required and generally at a stressful time when trying to coordinate everything – have been fooled by this site. This site needs to be shut down.
