All J-1 exchange visitors are legally required to update Exchange Visitor Services (EVS) within 10 calendar days of any change to their address or other contact information.
You must email your EVS advisor any updates to satisfy federal regulations.
While at UF, the following addresses must always be current in ONE.UF:
- Street address
- Mailing address
- Legal address
