Change Your Address in the DoorDash App or Website

You can change your DoorDash address in two places: your account settings (which controls where DoorDash thinks you live) or at checkout (which lets you order to a different address just once). Most people need to update their account settings when they move. Open the DoorDash app, tap the account icon in the bottom right, select "Account", then tap "Addresses". From there you can add a new address, edit an existing one, or delete one you no longer use. On the website, log in, click your profile icon in the top right, choose "Account", and find "Addresses" in the menu.

When you add or change an address, DoorDash will ask you to confirm the street number, street name, apartment or unit number (if you have one), city, state, and ZIP code. The app uses this information to show you which restaurants can deliver to that location. If you enter an address that is outside a restaurant's delivery zone, you will not see that restaurant in your search results, even if it normally delivers to your city.

Key Takeaways

  • Update your account address in Settings > Account > Addresses, and DoorDash will use that as your default delivery location for all future orders.
  • You can save multiple addresses (home, work, a friend's house) and pick which one to use each time you order.
  • If you order to an address outside a restaurant's delivery zone, that restaurant will not appear in your search results.
  • You can change your delivery address at checkout without updating your account, which is useful for one-time orders to a different location.
  • DoorDash may ask you to confirm your address with a phone number or email if you change it, especially if it is in a new area.

Add a New Address Without Deleting Your Old One

DoorDash lets you keep multiple addresses on file at once. This is useful if you split time between two homes, have a work address where you want deliveries, or want to send food to a friend's place. In the Addresses section, tap the plus icon or "Add Address" button. Enter the full address, give it a label (like "Home", "Work", or "Mom's House"), and save it. You can now pick any of these addresses when you place an order.

Each address you save is independent. Changing one address does not affect the others. If you want to set one as your default (the one that shows up first when you open the app), look for a "Set as Default" or similar option next to that address.

Change Your Address at Checkout for a One-Time Order

If you want to order to a different address just this once without updating your account, you can change it at checkout. After you add items to your cart and tap "Checkout", look for your current address near the top of the screen. Tap it to open the address selector. You can either pick a saved address from your list or enter a new address temporarily. DoorDash will show you restaurants that deliver to that location. Once you complete the order, your account address stays the same for your next order.

This method is faster if you are ordering to a friend's house or a temporary location and do not plan to use that address again. However, if you find yourself changing to the same address repeatedly, it is easier to save it permanently in your account settings.

What Happens When You Move to a New City

When you change your address to a new city, DoorDash may ask you to verify the change, especially if the new address is far from your previous one. You might receive a confirmation email or text message asking you to confirm the address change. This is a security step to prevent someone else from changing your account without permission. Click the link in the email or text to confirm.

After you update your address, the restaurants shown in your search results will change to reflect what is available in your new area. If you do not see restaurants you expect, check that your address is entered correctly and that it falls within their delivery zones. Some restaurants have limited delivery areas, so even in a new city, not every restaurant will deliver to every address.

Fix a Typo or Incorrect Address

If you notice a mistake in your saved address (a wrong street number, misspelled street name, or missing apartment number), tap that address in your Addresses list and select "Edit". Correct the information and save. DoorDash will update it when ready. If restaurants suddenly stopped showing up after you saved an address, a typo is often the cause—the address may fall outside delivery zones because it does not match a real location.

If you entered an address that DoorDash does not recognize, the app may show a warning or ask you to confirm it anyway. Follow the prompts to verify the address. If DoorDash still will not accept it, the address format may not match the system's expectations. Try entering just the street address without apartment details first, or contact DoorDash support through the app if the problem continues.

Delete an Address You No Longer Need

To remove an address from your account, open your Addresses list, find the address you want to delete, and look for a delete icon (usually a trash can or three dots with a delete option). Tap it and confirm that you want to remove the address. The address will be deleted from your account and will not appear in your address list anymore. You can always add it back later if you need to.

Deleting an address does not affect past orders sent to that location. Your order history will still show where you ordered from previously. Deleting only removes it from your saved addresses so it no longer appears as an option when you place a new order.

Troubleshoot When Your Address Will Not Save or Update

If DoorDash will not let you save an address or keeps rejecting it, the most common reason is that the address format does not match what the system expects. Make sure you have entered the street number, street name, city, state, and ZIP code. If you have an apartment, unit, or suite number, include that too. Avoid abbreviations—spell out "Street" instead of "St" and "Avenue" instead of "Ave".

If the address is correct and DoorDash still will not accept it, try logging out and logging back in, or close the app completely and reopen it. Sometimes a temporary glitch prevents the system from processing the change. If you are still stuck, open the DoorDash app, tap your account icon, and select "Help" to contact support. Describe the address you are trying to add and what error message you see, and the support team can help you resolve it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have more than one address saved on my DoorDash account?

Yes. You can save as many addresses as you want. Each one can have its own label (Home, Work, etc.), and you pick which address to use each time you order. This is useful if you move between locations or want to send orders to different places.

Will changing my address affect my past orders?

No. Your order history stays the same no matter what address you have saved now. Changing your address only affects new orders going forward. Past orders will still show the address they were delivered to.

What if a restaurant does not deliver to my new address?

Restaurants have specific delivery zones, and some do not cover every part of a city. If a restaurant you like does not show up after you change your address, it likely does not deliver to your new location. You can try ordering to a nearby address to see if that restaurant appears, or search for similar restaurants in your new area.

Do I need to update my payment method when I change my address?

No. Your payment method (credit card, debit card, or other payment option) is separate from your delivery address. Changing your address does not affect how you pay for orders.

Can someone else change my DoorDash address without my permission?

DoorDash has security measures in place. If someone tries to change your address from a new device or location, you may get a confirmation email or text. Always verify any address changes you did not make, and change your password if you think your account has been accessed without permission.
