What’s happening?
Starting September 4, 2018, customers will be required to
use their legal name as it appears on the driver licensing record.
Who will be affected?
Customers applying for a title or initial registration.
What’s the impact?
Title applications that do not include the customer’s legal
name could require additional documentation and/or result in the transaction
being rejected.
What this means for you?
When completing application for title enter the customer’s
name as it appears on their driver license. We will not accept common
nick-names e.g. Joe vs. Joseph. If the name is different than the driver
licensing record, DOL will request a name change document prior to
issuing title.
Who to contact with questions?
Your local vehicle
licensing office.
