Self-Directed Guides

In most cases, you do not need to work with a lawyer to update your name or gender marker on ID documents and can typically update these documents fairly easily on your own.

Visit our Quick Reference Guides for help updating the following documents:

• Legal name change
• Social Security card
• Passport
• Driver’s license/state-issued identification card
• Birth certificate
