Yes. If your current legal name is different than your name at birth, you can still obtain a drivers license in the United States. First of all, not all states require birth certificates for drivers licenses. If you want to obtain an "enhanced" or "real ID-compliant" driver's license and your find yourself with a name discrepancy, you will need to present documentation showing your legal name change. This can be accomplished by either showing a court order that legally changed your name, or your marriage certificate. In cases where you have married more than once, and changed your name more than once, you may have to show a divorce decree to clarify the progression of your name changes.

This is not a problem. This happens when changing one's name upon marriage or petitioning for a court-ordered name change. You can show your marriage certificate or the court order. If not, then your drivers license will have to show the name shown on your birth certificate.
