If you want your new DL/ID to be a REAL ID, you will be able to apply for one in the application. Use our online application to apply for a new DL/ID card or commercial driver’s license (CDL) with your new name. If your SSA information does not match your new DL/ID application information, your application will be denied, and you will receive a Request for Verification of Information letter from DMV telling you what to do. When you apply for a new DL/ID card using your new name, the first thing DMV will do is verify your information with SSA, so make sure you have informed SSA of your new name. Change your name with the Social Security Administration (SSA)
