After Marriage

Upon receipt of a Certificate of Marriage, you may change the name on your driver's license, Social Security card, and voter registration.

Driver's License

When changing your name and/or address on your Minnesota driver's license, bring a certified copy of your Marriage License or appropriate document to verify the change. Minnesota Driver's license changes can be done at the following Washington County locations:

License Center Locations Only in Forest Lake, Stillwater and Woodbury

Social Security Card

If you have changed your name in any way, you must notify the Social Security Office. Social Security applications may be obtained online at www.ssa.gov/ or by calling the Social Security Administration Office at 1-800-772-1213.
