New York

Help! Moved and trying to change name!

I'm a little confused about the best way to go about doing all of this, so I figured I'd ask you ladies. I was living in MA before I got married and now I'm living in NY. I bought a car about 5 days before getting married and I could not change my mailing address, driver's license, or anything like that until I had the title for my car, which I just picked up from my parent's house this week. In NY, you're supposed to notify them/get a state driver's license within 30 days of becoming a resident (I've now been here for 36 days). Would it be better for me to just get everything switched over to New York and then switch it to my married name or is it easier to just bite the bullet and switch my place of residence and my name at the same time?

  • I personally would do both at once. I think it would be a big pain in the ass to get all my NY stuff then turn around and do a name change, plus you'd end up paying for two driver's licenses. The DMV blows, I'd hate to do that twice, but that's just me.
