After you legally change your name, you'll need to update the information on your driver's license or ID card, vehicle title, and vehicle registration.

Driver's License and ID Card

To change your name on your Mississippi driver's license or ID, visit your local driver's license office and submit your current driver's license along with a certified copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing your name change. The fee is $5 unless you make the change when you renew your license, in which case only the renewal charge will apply.

You are not required to present an updated Social Security card, unless you plan to use the card as proof of identity. Visit Social Security Online for more information about affecting a name change on your Social Security card.

Vehicle Registration and Title

When you change your name, you'll also need to change your vehicle registration and title to reflect that change. Visit your local tax commissioner's office to request an application. You'll need to present a copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing your name change.

The fee is $5.
