MV-44NC

The NY DMV MV-44NC form is a specialized application used exclusively to request a name change on an existing Standard New York State driver license, learner permit, or non-driver ID card. It cannot be used for Enhanced (EDL), REAL ID, or Commercial (CDL) credentials, nor does it allow for other information updates such as address or gender changes. Applicants must ensure their name on file with the Social Security Administration exactly matches the new name requested and must provide legal proof of the change, such as a marriage certificate, court order, or divorce decree.

The document requires personal identification details, including date of birth and Social Security number, and includes sections for organ donor registration and voter registration updates. Male applicants between ages 18 and 25 are notified of the legal requirement to register with the Selective Service System. Once completed, the form must be submitted to the DMV with the appropriate amendment fee and copies of the applicant’s current photo document and Social Security card. Failure to pay the fee or provide matching social security records will result in the application being denied.
