Driver's License or ID Name Change

You can't change your name on your driver's license or ID online. You must visit your local Driver License Station.

The process is similar to replacing a lost driver's licenseor ID. Take your marriage certificate, divorce decree, or other legal document that proves your name change to your Driver License Station. There are no forms available online; the branch will handle all paperwork for you.

The fee for a name change varies depending on how many duplicate licenses you've applied for in the past. If this is the first, you'll pay $8; if it's the second, you'll pay $12.

Call ahead for your specific fees.

Note: An updated Social Security card, reflecting your name change, is not required. But if you want to change your name with the Social Security Administration (SSA), visit the agency's site. Give the agency at least 48 hours to process your request.

Title Name Change

As with driver's license name changes, there are no forms available online to change the name on your title.

Simply head to your local County Clerk's office with your original title and marriage certificate, divorce decree, or other legal document that proves your name change.

The fee to change the name on your title is $10.50.

Registration Name Change

Here's some good news: You don't have to do anything to change your name on your vehicle registration. As long as you've changed the name on your title, the name will automatically change on your registration once it's time to renew.
