name change and DMV
When you go to the DMV to change your name, do they keep your copy of the marriage certificate and send it back to you later?

Nope. I already did DMV and my bank with just my marriage certificate. Next I have to go to SS.

Re: name change and DMV
I did the SS card first, then the dmv and lastly my passport.When I went to the dmv, they just looked at my marriage license and I had to take a new picture since I was changing my name.

I just printed out the forms online, got a passport picture taken at Rite Aid, attached it to the forms, sent my marriage license with it and sent it UPS to the address they give you. They mailed me back everything in about 2 weeks and then I got my new passport the following week.
