Yes. A person in a civil union or same-sex marriage may use their certificate of civil union or of marriage as proof of legal name change for the purpose of obtaining a Colorado driver's license in their new name. There is an extra step in Colorado, that is not typical in other states, wherein the applicant must first register their civil union or marriage certificate with the clerk of the county in which the applicant resides.

∙ 10y agoNo. The marriage certificate is not sufficient. You must also obtain a court order permitting you to change your name. This extra step is made necessary by Louisiana's refusal to recognize legal marriages between persons of the same gender, even though it recognizes all other types of marriages, even if the parties would not be permitted to marry under Louisiana law.
