Driver's License and ID Card

When your name changes, you'll need to visit a Full Service DMV office to update your driver's license or ID. Before you go, complete the Non-Commercial Driver License Application to speed the process.

You'll need to take a certified copy of the legal document showing your name change. This could be your marriage certificate, divorce decree, adoption or naturalization papers, or other court order.

You are not required to present an updated Social Security card, but it's not a bad idea to affect that name change as well. Visit Social Security Online for more information about the process.

The fee for changing your name on your driver's license in Nevada is $7.25.

Vehicle Titles and Registrations

Before changing your vehicle title and registration, you will need to change the name on your current insurance policy, then take the proof of insurance, showing that name change to a Full Service DMV office.

You'll also need to take the original title and the certified copy of the document showing your name change, such as the marriage certificate, divorce decree, or other court order.

If your name changes due to divorce, the paperwork will need to show that you are now the sole owner of the vehicle. If the current title has the word "and" between names, both of you will need to sign the title. If there is an "or" between the names, only one signature is required.

There are no forms to complete, but you'll need to sign the original title. The process will be like you are selling the title in your old name to yourself in the new name, by signing the title on the back. When you present this signed title to the DMV, it will process all the paperwork.

Your registration papers will not be changed until renewal time; the corrected title will be mailed within six weeks.

The fee for a duplicate title is $20.
