I purchased a car in April of last year. I was already married but had not yet legally changed my name, so the car was put under my maiden name. I moved to NY and while registering my car I decided to fix the last name while I was at it. The DMV would not allow it because the title was in my maiden name, even though I presented my marriage certificate! They said because the marriage certificate was dated in 2005 and the car was purchased in 2006 it didn't make sense. I explained about not changing my name right away but they still would not allow it. I think this woman just didn't know what the hell she was doing and after waiting there for so long I was frustrated and left. Was she just out of her mind and should I try to go back to a different DMV on long island, or is she right?

Change the name on the title. That will update the name on the registration automatically. If you get faced with the same idiot, ask to speak to a supervisor.

You need to first change the name on the title, afterwards, present the title to change the registration. Oh, I hope your driver's license name is changed to your married name. New York is very particular about everything since it is the site on which terrorists focus their energy on. Changing the title doesn't automatically change the registration or driver's license. DMV also has a 6 point requirement of what documents are needed for this, and they DO NOT negotiate. If you don't have it, be prepared to leave without what you came for no matter how long you've waited. NJ is the same. Check out the DMV website to find out what constitute the 6 points documents you will need.
