You must change your name on your license, your registration, and your title.
- To change your name on your license, you must first have your name changed with the Social Security Administration. You should then go to one of the DMV locations with your new Social Security card and legal document showing the new name and the DMV will present you with a new license. There is a fee for this service.
- To change your name on your registration, you must go to one of the DMV locations with your new license, (the temporary license with your new name will suffice) your title, your legal document, and proof of insurance. You will be asked to fill out the TR-1 form and the cost will be $26.50. This cost covers the name change on both your registration and your title.
- To change your name on your title: if the title is in your possession, sign the title over to yourself by signing your former name on the back of the title as "seller". Then sign your new name as "buyer".
If the title is not in your possession, call the title office.
