Change name or address on Enhanced Driver License (EDL)

You have ten days to update your address on your EDL after your move, which you can do online. If you are changing your name, you can make an appointment at one of our licensing offices.

Change your name on an EDL

Follow these steps to officially change your name on your enhanced driver license (EDL):

1. Update your name with the Social Security Administration

Before you can update your EDL, you must first visit a Social Security Administration (SSA) office to change your name.

Please allow up to five business days for the SSA to notify us that you have changed your name.

2. Visit a driver licensing office

Make an appointment at a driver licensing office location.

Show us one of the following documents to prove your name change. Please note we need the original documents and do not accept photocopies.

  • Court order showing your change of name
  • Divorce decree (filed and certified by the court) showing the new name or authorizing a name change
  • Marriage certificate (filed after the ceremony with the county or authorized issuing authority and certified)
    • Church or wedding chapel forms aren't acceptable
    • Contact the county auditor where the license was filed to get a certified copy of a marriage certificate
  • Valid U.S. passport or passport card with your new name
  • Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship with your new name

You may need to pay a fee. Visit our driver licensing fees page for more information.
