dependant ID card question:

1sttimenavywife2be

Will I have to get my license changed to new last name before I can get my ID card? Also, do we have to get it issued at his current stationed base, or can we do it when he is visiting me in SD? AND (sorry for the questions!) Is there a time frame that we have to get that stuff done?

Less then 29 days to our elopment, dress will be in next week, rings are bought, hotel booked and flights paid for....I cant wait!!!

In my expirience, you can go to any base to get your ID.  You may want to call ahead.  At our base, you have to set up an appointment to get your ID card.  Other bases do not require an appointment.

You can go to any base.  Ditto about checking whether you need an appointment or not, and also verify the hours because a lot of the offices have odd working hours.  And no you don't need to have your name changed on your license.  I didn't even change my license name until after we PCS-ed and I transferred my license to the new state, and changed my name then.  Your marriage license will have your maiden name and your married name (if you do change it).  I feel like I maybe had to bring my social security card too, but can't remember for sure.
