Name Change
You must notify the department of public transportation within 7 days of changing your name. When a person is married, the married name is considered an assumed name. You may change your married name with the Department when you receive your government issued marriage certificate. The seven-day rule does not apply in this case.
Take the appropriate original documents (see chart below) and your current licence to a Cross River State licence and vehicle registration/issuing officer. A new photograph will be taken and you will get a temporary licence to use until your permanent one is given to you.
