How do I notify government agencies, employers, and other important entities of my name change in Texas?

Ensure your legal name change is fully recognized in all the necessary places. Here’s what you should do:

• Reach out to the Department of Public Safety in Texas to update your name on your driver’s license or state ID.
• Notify the Department of Motor Vehicles in Texas to amend the name on your vehicle’s title and registration.
• Update your details with the Secretary of State’s Office in Texas to reflect your new name in voter registration records.
• Inform the Social Security Administration to have your name changed on your Social Security card.
• Additionally, it’s crucial to notify non-government entities like your bank, credit card or loan providers, landlord, cell phone service provider, and any other businesses you regularly interact with. Essentially, if you receive a monthly bill from a company, they should be informed about your name change.
