Name Change for United States Citizens
U.S. citizens must use the name from their primary identification. When necessary, marriage certificates, court orders or divorce decrees must be provided to link the name on the primary identification to the name that you would like to place on your driver license or identification card. One of the following original or certified documents is required to process a name change for a U.S. Citizen:
- Marriage certificate
- Court order
- Naturalization papers
- Divorce decree
Also, keep in mind whatever name you use MUST be verified through the Social Security Administration (SSA), so the name must match the name you use with the Social Security Administration. Therefore, you MUST change your name with the Social Security Administration before doing so on your driver license. Paper verification of a name change with the SSA is not sufficient. You should wait at least two business days before going to a DHSMV office or Tax Collector office to give the SSA sufficient time to update their database.
