PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Same-sex couples in South Dakota can now use a marriage certificate and a number of other documents to change a name on a South Dakota-issued driver’s license.

The state’s Driver’s Licensing Program says individuals can request name changes starting Monday.

For a name change on a license with a gold star, individuals need to provide a South Dakota driver’s license and two documents proving residential address.

In addition, individuals are asked to bring documents that connect their current full legal name to that on their existing license. Acceptable documents are a certified marriage certificate and the following three court orders: under petition for name change; for name change in a divorce decree or decree of annulment; and for name change in a decree of adoption.
