I received an error message which explained that the name on my NYS photo document does not match the name that is on file with the Social Security Administration. How do I correct my name?
If the name on your NYS photo document does not match the name on file with the Social Security Administration, you must visit a DMV office to correct your name. Bring the SSN verification letter that you received from the DMV, your current NYS photo document, your Social security Card, and one of the following documents to prove that you changed your name: • If you changed your name when you married, bring your original marriage document that was issued in the US. • If you changed your name when you divorced, bring your original divorce document that was issued by the court. • If you legally changed your name, bring the original document that was issued by the court that proves that you legally changed your name. • If your Social Security card displays your former name, bring your original birth certificate and any items that prove that you used a different name. The DMV web site lists the locations of local DMV offices.
