Wow that's crazy! You're not going to believe this, but my license needed renewed right around the time I was getting married (this was in 2000) so when I went up to renew, I changed my name on the forms to my new married name. They didn't ask for any proof at all of my new name change.....and I wasn't even married yet! It was 2 days before my wedding. Looking back, it's actually kind of scary that they processed it without any proof that my name had changed. I just marked the little box that said I had a different name due to marriage. Maybe ES is right, maybe it has something to do with homeland security or something.
