To change your name on your Colorado Driver’s License or Identification Card, the first step is to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to process your name change. The SSA will update their database and your change will be effective the next business day.

You then may process your name change with our office. An original legal document authorizing the change is required. Acceptable examples include:

• Filed certified marriage certificate issued in the U.S.
  • Foreign marriage certificates must be in English or translated into English.
• Filed certified divorce decree with approval to restore previous name
• Filed certified court order issued by a state or federal court or government
• County or State certified birth certificate

A name change will require the renewal of your Driver’s License, which may be done at any of our four motor vehicle offices.

At this time, the only services offered at our County Motor Vehicle offices for those under 21 are the replacement of a driver’s license, and the replacement or renewal of a State-issued identification card.
