Local Rule 83-10 answers this question and provides the procedure for changes of address or firm affiliation. Note also that whenever an attorney leaves a firm, the firm is responsible for filing notices of substitution of counsel for any pending cases assigned to that attorney.
LR 83-10 Notification of Change of Address or Affiliation
(a) Current Address Information
Every attorney admitted to general or special practice, and every unrepresented party, has a continuing responsibility to notify the Clerk's office whenever their mailing address, telephone number, and/or business e-mail address changes. Commensurate with filing the notice to the Court, the attorney must update his/her CM/ECF User Account.
(b) Notice of Change of Mailing and/or Business E-Mail Address
Notice of a change of mailing and/or business e-mail address must be filed in pleading form and served on all parties to any pending action, or case on appeal.
Local Rule (LR) 10 contains guidelines for the form of pleading and other doucuments submitted to the court. LR 7 also contains some form requirements regarding motions practice specifically.
For the convenience of practitioners, we have also posted the table of page limits found in LR 10-6 in our Practice Tips area for attorneys.

Do government attorneys need to fill out an application for admission?
No. To arrange to be admitted without attending an admissions ceremony, you must submit a letter to the admissions clerk in the appropriate division requesting a separate date and time for admission before that month's presiding judge.
An admissions ceremony is held each month in Portland. The Eugene, Medford and Pendleton division offices also conduct admissions ceremonies during the month.
The admissions ceremony in Portland is held the second or third Monday or Tuesday of every month. Attorneys must submit their applications by the end of the previous month to be scheduled for the next month's ceremony. For example, if an attorney wants to attend an admissions ceremony on December 14, the application must be submitted by November 30.
