- Q. Is there any penalties/deadlines for getting married but not changing my wifes last name until a later date?
- A: Florida law does not impose a deadline or time limit for when she should change her last name after your marriage. If she becomes a resident of Florida and completes the name change, she has 30 days to update her Florida Driver's License with her new name.
