Name Change on Drivers License

HAHAHA I was looking at my pic and THANK GOODNESS I am getting it redone! OMG I get accused of having a fake ALL THE TIME!

The only reason my old Bar Manager let me drink is because she knew it was my name and address but the pic looks nothing like me!



ANYWAYS! How do I change it and what do I need?

This should help (scroll down it's the second section)

HTH!

Change Your Name

You must visit a local DMV office to change your name on all DMV records and documents.

Bring your NYSDMV photo document or other proof of identity that displays your previous name and has a value of at least six points.
Bring a US marriage certificate, US divorce documents, or other court papers issued in the US that prove your new name. Or, you can bring proof of identity that displays your new name and has a value of at least six points.
To change your name on a registration document and a title certificate, you must bring the registration document and the title certificate that display your previous name.

Use form MV-44 to change your name on your driver license, learner permit or non-driver photo ID card. There is a fee of $12.50 to get a new photo driver license or learner permit document that displays your new name. The fee is $5 to get a new non-driver photo ID card. Your new document arrives by mail in approximately two weeks.

Use form MV-82 to change your name on your registration documents and title certificate. There is no fee to change your name on your registration documents and title certificate. The DMV office gives you new registration documents that display your new name. A title certificate that displays your new name is mailed to you.

I was told it is best to first change your name on your social security card because you may need that to get your license. Put on the DMV WEBSITE it says just bringing your previous drivers license and marriage license is enough. I would do the social security card first tho just to be safe.

HTH!!
