Change Your Name
Arizona law requires all driver license and identification card holders to report a change of name to MVD within 10 days.
MVD is required to verify your Social Security number before your record can be updated. Therefore, you must first contact the Social Security Administration online or at 800.772.1213 (toll-free TTY number: 800.325.0778) for information on how to change your name on their records.
After you have changed your name with SSA, wait two days for their computer system to update, then visit any MVD or Authorized Third Party office to present identification in both your new and previous names. This identification must be an original (recorded) or certified copy of one of these documents:
- Marriage license or domestic partnership certificate
- Citizenship/naturalization document
- Divorce decree
- Adoption decree
- A court order
Certified copies must be certified by the issuing agency.
