New Jersey S3918 requires MVC to accept specific documents as proof of name change for driver's licenses.

New Jersey S3918 amends the law to require the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to accept a birth certificate, marriage certificate, social security card, divorce decree, or court order as proof of a name change for a driver's license. The bill also extends the time period for notifying MVC of a name change from two weeks to six months or the next license renewal, whichever is sooner. This change aims to align New Jersey's requirements with those of other states and the Social Security Administration.
