To change your name on your driver’s license, you will need
to complete state specifc forms usually provided from the
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Most states require that you appear in person to change
the name on your driver’s license so that a new license can
be issued. You can check the information below to see if
your state allows you to change your name on your license
by mail.
In order to change your license, you will need to present
proof of the change. Proof of the change can be a certifed
copy of your marriage license, certifcated copy of your
divorce judgment containing the provision allowing you to
reclaim your maiden name, or a certifed copy of the Court
order changing your name. Certifed copies can be
obtained from the ofce that issued the marriage license or
the court clerk that issued the divorce decree or name
change order.
You will also need to present your present license. You
may desire to present your social security card, or
password as additional proof of identifcation.
Some Departments of Transportation also allow you to
change your voter registration at the same time you
change your license by completing additional forms.
