Instructions

If you are legally changing your name because of marriage, divorce or a court-approved legal name change, you must change your name with the Social Security Administration first. You must visit a Social Security office in person.

The DMV electronically verifies your name, birth date and social security number with the SSA. You may wish to wait for two or more business days for Social Security to update your records.

You must have your current license or ID and the original legal documents which authorize the change. For marriage, this must be the certified Marriage Certificate which is recorded with the County Recorder. The Marriage License issued before the ceremony is not acceptable. Divorce decrees or other court documents must be originals or certified copies.

You must visit a DMV Office to have a new driver license or ID card issued. This cannot be done online or through the mail. The DMV will punch a hole in your existing license or ID and return it to you with an interim document. Your new license or ID will be mailed to you.
