How to Change a Name on a Driving License
- 1). Obtain a certified document stating your change of name. Acceptable documents include a marriage or divorce certificate or a court order. The document must show your previous name as well as your new name.
- 2). Gather together your current driver's license as well as an updated Social Security card. You can obtain a new Social Security card by contacting your local Social Security Office. See the "Resources" section below for a directory.
- 3). Go to your local Secretary of State's office, Department of Motor Vehicles, or Driver and Vehicle Service location. Depending on the state you live in, this can be a different location. See "References" below for a directory of locations.
- 4). Present your information to obtain a new Driver's License. You may be assessed a fee after which you will be issued a duplicate license with your new name. Your previous driver's license will not be returned.
