Marriage Name Change in Wyoming

Agency: Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), Driver Services. Deadline: Wyoming does not publish a fixed grace period; complete the update promptly after the SSA step.

First complete your Social Security Administration name change, then contact WYDOT Driver Services or use the state's online driver portal where available; documentation follows the standard proof-of-identity and proof-of-name categories.

Bring these documents:

• Updated Social Security card (reflecting your new name)
• Certified marriage certificate (original, raised seal)
• Current Wyoming driver license or ID card
• Proof of Wyoming residency (if required)

The one order that matters is Social Security first, then your driver license — state offices verify your new name against SSA records. Your U.S. passport can be updated whenever it suits you; it is not required before your license.

Update Social Security first, then your Wyoming driver license — Wyoming agencies verify your new name against Social Security records, so going the other way causes rejections and wasted trips. Your U.S. passport is a separate, independent update: you do not need a new passport to get your license, and you can renew it whenever it suits your travel plans. Banks, employer, insurance, and the rest come after your license.
