name change

well i have been married for over a year and keep putting off changing my name.
i know the first step is the social security office. i live in queens and there is one right near me. i am wondering, if i go in the morning, do i get the new ss card immediately so i can head over to DMV or does it get mailed to me (meaning i have to wait a few days before i can go to DMV)?

I did my name change in Nassau - went to SS first and got the new card right away and took it right over to DMV. My new license came in about 2 weeks.

Re: name change

i did my name change in huntington/melville. they mailed me a new card - i didn't get a new one right away.

im pretty sure i didn't need it for the dmv - i just brought my marriage certificate and a utility bill for my new address

I Just went to SS yesterday...They said they would be mailing my new SS card within 2 weeks. I do not believe that you need this for DMV though (I havent gotten that far yet)
