I'd like to ask another question about the name update. If I am qualified for a 'no charge' registration, how do I go about registering?
You will need to renew at a DMV office and you will need to bring documentation to prove you are eligible for exempt status.
will there be a problem if I have a new name? can I still do it online or do I have to walk in to a DMV with proof?
You can still renew online but the new document will display your previous name. You won't be able to change your name during the online transaction, but we can give you information on how to change your name on a registration or title.
