Chapter 1: DMV Requires a Full Name

Previous Section Handbook Table of Contents Next Section


In an effort to prevent "theft of identity" and error in motor vehicle records, the Division of Motor Vehicles now requires the use of the full name for driver license and vehicle registration transactions. The Division no longer accepts the use of nicknames or initials for its records. If you have used nicknames, initials or an incomplete name in the past, please be prepared to update your record on your next visit to a driver license or vehicle registration office. Furthermore, please bring the appropriate documents to show your full name.

For a list and explanation of those documents look under
Requirements: Proof of Age and Identity.
