OKLAHOMA CITY- The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety has announced that residents can now change the name on their driver’s license online. This new feature will make the process more convenient and efficient for those looking to update their information.
The option to change a name on a driver’s license online is part of the department’s efforts to modernize and streamline their services. By allowing residents to make these changes online, the department aims to reduce wait times at their offices and make it easier for people to update their information.
To change a name on a driver’s license online, residents will need to visit the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety website and log into their account. From there, they can select the option to update their personal information and follow the prompts to change their name.
In order to verify the change, residents will need to provide documentation such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. Once the documentation has been verified, the new name will be updated on the driver’s license and a new card will be mailed to the resident.
The online name change feature is available to all Oklahoma residents who have a driver’s license or state ID. This includes both those with a standard license and those with a REAL ID-compliant license.
“We are excited to offer this new online feature to our residents,” said John Doe, a spokesperson for the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety. “We understand that changing a name on a driver’s license can be a time-consuming process, so we wanted to make it easier and more convenient for our residents to do so.”
Residents who choose to change their name on their driver’s license online will be charged a small fee for the service. This fee covers the cost of processing the name change and issuing a new card.
In addition to changing a name on a driver’s license, residents can also use the online portal to update their address, renew their license, and more. The department hopes that by offering these online services, they can make it easier for residents to access the resources they need.
For those who prefer to change their name in person, the option to do so at a local Department of Public Safety office is still available. However, the department encourages residents to take advantage of the online option whenever possible to save time and avoid long wait times.
Overall, the new online name change feature is a welcome addition to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety’s services. By making it easier for residents to update their information, the department is taking steps to improve the overall experience for those they serve.
