I'm trying to decide whether or not I should first get the ID card and then change my name or if I should wait until after I've changed my name to get my ID card.How long does it take to get a CA state ID (from the DMV) after a name change?When I got mine it took about a week and a half. Change your name before getting a new ID so you don't have to go thru the process twice.How long does it take to get a CA state ID (from the DMV) after a name change?two weeksHow long does it take to get a CA state ID (from the DMV) after a name change?you would be better off waiting until you get your name changed and a new social security card.
otherwise you'll end up paying for the ID twice.
