name change process

do you get your new ss card first or go to the motor vehicle first?

I am also wondering if this will effect my voter registration.

Re: name change process

Go to SS first, DMV now requires your new SS card to change your name, I just went through it. You can notify voter registration services when you change your name with the DMV.

Same here just got my new SS card and did my driver license yesterday!!! Need your title of your car though to change your name on the title and your registration so I need to make another trip to DMV!! I hate that place also they make u take over a new picture cause they need your new signature with your new married name!!

Re: name change process

Wow, the DMV rules must have changed very recently.

I was married in July and started changing my name when we got back from the HM in early August. The first thing I changed was my Driver's License (well before I changed my SS card).

All I brought with me was my marriage license with me and my old driver's license, and they told me that was enough. The only other things I had in my new name was a couple of credit cards that I was able to change really quickly before I left for the HM

I did my SS 1st, then DMV 2nd.... but I didn't need the SS for the license because I used my drivers license as the total 6pts.

Re: name change process

I have not done SS either. I am not changing the registration on my car... I was told I am still considered my maiden name also... I was born with that name. If there is a problem to just show my brith certificate and marriage license. I do not plan on selling my cars anytime soon.
