You must visit a Driver Services Center to change your name. You will need your current license and the original or certified copy of a document showing the reason for the change for instance a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order.
You will be charged a duplicate fee ranging from $8 to $16 dollars. The fee will depend on the number of duplicates you’ve had and the type of license you have. All Certificate for Driving, Temporary Driver License and Temporary ID duplicates cost $28.00.
NOTE: All documents must be originals or certified copies. Faxes or photocopies will not be accepted.
Required Documents for a Legal Change of Name
Legal Name Change or Divorce
As recorded in the court decree with judge’s original signature and/or official court seal.
NOTE: A copy of a court document with a copied seal or signature is not acceptable. A copy of a court document with an original signature or seal that is affixed to copy is acceptable.
Marriage License/Certificate
Must include the applicant's full name. The certificate must be the original or certified copy that is registered AFTER the marriage; NOT just the “license” authorizing the union.
NOTE: All documents are subject to verification with the issuing agency or source. Documents subject to verification may delay the issuance of your license.
To avoid an extended wait time, making an appointment is highly recommended.
