Do I need to apply for a new driver's license if my name or surname changes?

As a result of a marriage, you keep your birth name (last name). You should not apply for a new driver's license even if you use as usage name the name of the person you are married to.

The name on a driver's license issued since 2013 is indeed the birth name. The administration does not therefore issue a new license in the event of marriage

You can apply for a new driving license if your usage name is indicated on your license and you only want to indicate your birth name (last name).
