To change your name after marriage in Oklahoma, update Social Security, then notify the Department of Public Safety in writing within 10 days. Request a duplicate license in person at a Licensed Operator or Service Oklahoma office; it can't be done online. The duplicate costs $25. Service Oklahoma asks for originals or certified copies and doesn't accept notarized documents; for a common-law marriage, the Department of Public Safety asks for an affidavit with both spouses' notarized signatures.
