Louisiana law requires that you notify the Motor Vehicle Office within 10 days any time your address changes. You must appear in person to have this transaction completed.

Minors, 17 or under, must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian with picture I.D. In case of joint custody, only the domiciliary parent may sign. 

NOTE: If you own a vehicle, please have the address corrected on the certificate of registration. Changing the address on your driver's license does not automatically change the address on any vehicles you may own.

If your driver's license expires within 90 days, you will be required to renew.

The Office of Motor Vehicles has on-line verification with the Social Security Administration. All name changes must be recorded with the Social Security Administration prior to your visit to the Office of Motor Vehicles.

To have your name changed on your license, you must go to the Office of Motor Vehicles with original documentation that supports the name change (i.e., certified birth certificate, state-certified marriage license, divorce decree, probate court documents, etc.), your current license, proof of residency and proof of insurance for any vehicle you own. You will be required to pass a vision test.

Fee: $13.00 (A local fee may apply not to exceed $4) for a 4-year license and $17.00 for a six-year license (A local fee may apply not to exceed $6). The name change is considered as a duplicate license and the expiration date of the license does not change.

If the applicant possesses multiple Louisiana credentials such as an ID card or mobility impaired hangtag, the name must be changed on those documents as well. The name on all credentials must be changed at the same time.
