Problem changing my name with The SS Administration

[emsauntj2002]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Obviously, I didn't post the first time correctly. I apparently didn't change my name with SS 32 years ago when I got married. Now MD DMV will not let me renew my DL (which expired) until SS updates my name change. SS Will not update my name change without a current photo id (license,passport or military id). I need my license desperately and I am sent from DMV to SS and from SS to DMV (each saying there is nothinh they can do). Is there ANY way that I can EVER resolve this? Or am I jusy out of a license and SS benefits pd?

Can you use your last DL for SS name change?

Unfortunately no as it is expired. Even though the photo is CLEARLY me,

Ahhh...Catch 22 situation. Always "fun".

See if you can get a consult with an attorney ...Many offer a quick consult for free. There are a couple that post here regularly...I will ask one to take a look at your thread.

Zigner, A passport requires same proof of identity. A current license. But thank you for trying

You're wrong - the license doesn't HAVE to be current -there are ways around it. I already checked it out before posting, but I suggest that you research it a bit more so that you understand the process.

Zigner, I apologize if I spoke incorrectly. I will research more. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Your local Congressman has folks who may light a fire under the feet of the SS workers. Give them a call. Good luck.
