Wow! That was inconvenient.
I am 80 years old. I’ve had my SS number, my driver’s license long before Congress passed this law. I also have my original birth certificate with my biological mother’s information. One of my biological brothers was a police officer at the time they found me, and he had enough credibility that the Family Court judge opened the records.
I have two certificates with a raised notary stamp on them indicating my name change. The BMV won’t take it.
I am about to contact my Congressman.
Do contact your Congress person about this.
Looks like the notary-stamped docs aren’t good enough, the BMV wants certified copies from the government records depts showing all your name changes from birth to present.
Original birth certificate when you were born, with your biological mom’s name on it and your original name on it.
Certified copy of name change document from the government records dept, showing the change from your original birth doc name to your adoptive name.
Certified copy from government records dept, of name change from your adoptive name to your married name, if applicable.
If your current name is the married name, then everything is connected.
For now.
