Changing Your Name

Name Change on a Driver's License

If you legally change your name, perhaps due to marriage or divorce, or if there's a mistake on your driver's license or ID card, you need apply for a duplicate with the correct name. Just take an acceptable document to prove your name change to a local office:

• Marriage certificate

• Court ordered documents (divorce decree, legal name change, etc.)

• Updated Social Security Card with your new name on it

You can e-mail dlbmail@dor.mo.gov if you have questions about acceptable documents. Visit Social Security Online for more information about affecting a name change on your card.

Name Change on a Registration and Title

If you change your name on your title, you'll have to apply for a completely new title in your new name. You'll need the following materials to apply:

• Completed application for title, available by email request to mvbmail@dor.mo.gov, or at your local office. Make sure to request "Name Change Documents."

• Original title

• Documentation to prove your name change (marriage certificate, divorce decree, court order, etc.)

• Payment for a new title. $8.50 for the title, $2.50 for processing.

Your registration will automatically change to your new name, once you get a new title.
