What must be done if you change your name?

When you change your name, it's essential to update your driver’s license with your new name. This is a legal requirement to ensure that all your identification documents reflect your current legal name, which is crucial for accurate identification. Having a name on your driver's license that does not match other identification (such as a Social Security card or passport) can lead to complications in various situations, including traffic stops, airport security, and financial transactions. Keeping your driver's license updated helps maintain accurate records with the state and ensures compliance with the law, which is important for both personal and legal reasons.
