Dumb question- what do I need to change my name at DMV?

I am way behind on doing this- I already did social security and I put off DMV for so long because they make you take a new picture for a name change...

Is my current license , ss card with my new name, and marriage cert enough?

Tia!

That should be enough, but I'd recommend double-checking it here: NYS DMV Name Change

I was just at the one in Massapequa yesterday. Just in case you're not familiar w/the shopping center (like I wasn't), it's in the corner of the "L" shaped building - to the right of Home Goods & by the entrance to a gym (they may even share the entrance). I saw the sign for the gym & somehow managed to miss the DMV sign a few times lol

When i changed my name I brought my marriage cert and I think I had my new SS card by then.

I went to the one in Massapequa....its on Carmens Rd in the Shopping certer. get there early if possible. I always went 1/2 hr before they opened to stand in line.

I just changed my name last month. I brought my new ss card and marriage certificate. They will take a new picture...ughhh.

Also, if your vehicle is registered in your maiden name, you will need to have that changed as well. You need to bring the title (if it's not a lease).

Ooooo good to know, does it matter that the title is also in my maiden? This is such a pitaaaaaa which is why I've put it off for 2 years! Lol
