How to Change Your Name on Your Florida Voter Registration

If you’ve recently changed your name—whether due to marriage, divorce, or a legal name change—it’s important to update your voter registration in Florida. This ensures your name matches your official ID and that you’re eligible to vote in upcoming elections without any issues.

Luckily, Florida makes it easy to update your voter information.


Step-by-Step: Update Your Voter Registration Name in Florida

1. Check Your Current Registration

Before making any updates, verify your current voter registration record:https://registration.elections.myflorida.com/CheckVoterStatus


2. Update Your Voter Registration Online

If you have a Florida driver’s license or state-issued ID, you can update your name online through the state’s voter registration portal:

https://registertovoteflorida.gov

You’ll need:

  • Your new legal name

  • Florida driver’s license or ID number

  • The last four digits of your Social Security number

  • Date of birth


3. Update by Mail or In Person

If you prefer, you can submit a new voter registration application with your updated name.

Important Deadlines

You must update your voter registration at least 29 days before an election to vote under your new name.


Pro Tip

Make sure your driver’s license also reflects your new name, as it will be used to verify your identity at polling places.
