What it costs
No court petition needed to take a spouse's name
District Court in the county where you have resided for at least 30 days (with 30+ days of Oklahoma domicile)
Step by step
- 1
Order a certified copy of your marriage certificate from the Court Clerk of the county where your marriage license was issued — in Oklahoma the State Department of Health does not hold marriage records, so the county Court Clerk is your source.
- 2
Update Social Security first with Form SS-5 (free); the new card takes about 7–10 business days.
- 3
Visit a Service Oklahoma licensing office in person with the certified marriage certificate and your updated Social Security record to get a duplicate driver's license or ID ($25).
- 4
Update your US passport (Form DS-5504 is free if issued within the last year), then banks, employer, USPS, and update voter registration through the OK Voter Portal.
Official forms
Every link goes to the official court or government host — never a paid re-host.
- • Oklahoma marriage certificates come from the county Court Clerk, not the state health department.
- • A Service Oklahoma name change cannot be done online — you must appear in person with your name-change document.
Then update your IDs
Once you have the certificate, update Social Security first, then your Oklahoma license, then your passport and accounts.
