Can I still use my driver's license after changing my name?

No, you cannot use your driver's license after changing your name. If your household register contains both your previous name and new name, you can bring your household register and ID card to the vehicle management office to apply for a new driver's license. Regulations on reissuing a driver's license: The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulate: After a motor vehicle driver replaces their driver's license, the original driver's license becomes invalid and cannot be used anymore. During the period when a driver's license is legally confiscated, detained, or temporarily suspended, the driver cannot apply for a replacement. Precautions for replacing a driver's license: If a driver has accumulated 12 penalty points in a scoring cycle and wants to replace their license, they must retake the subject one exam and pass it. Reasons for replacement include not only loss or damage but also the expiration of the license, in which case remember to bring the original and a copy of the physical condition certificate. Drivers who replace their license due to damage cannot drive with the original license during the period before receiving the new one, otherwise it will be considered as driving without a license.
