The Secretary of State’s Office has made some updates to the “Registering to Vote” document to provide guidance on applicants registering to vote who present a birth certificate in the birth name as proof of citizenship but seek to register with their married (or other different) name.
The following paragraph has been added to the document:
If your name has legally changed, for example through marriage, divorce, adoption, or a court-approved name change, and you will use any of these documents to prove United States citizenship, you must present proof of your legal name change that shows both your prior name as it appears on your proof of citizenship document and your current legal name as it appears on the voter registration application. Your marriage certificate, divorce decree, adoption papers, or the court order approving your name change will usually satisfy this requirement.
