Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

When I was born, my name on my birth certificate read denae durbin. When I was about 5, my parents began using my name as denae klander (my stepfathers last name) this was never done legally. I recieved a SSC card in the name denae Klander when I began working. When I got married, I signed my marriage certicicate from Denae Klander and it was changed to Denae Johnson (my husbands last name.) I have recently moved to Florida where I am trying to get my drivers license. The information they have requested is my current drivers license (in the name Denae Johnson) my Birth certificate (in the name Denae Durbin) my SCC card (in the name Denae Johnson) and a marriage license linking the names together. My issue is, I have no documentation saying that the name denae durbin (on my birth certificate) links with Denae Johnson. What do I do?????

Because of the recent terrorist activity in the US, it may be that you will have to do a name change on your birth certificate. You can take your documents as they are and explain to the vehicle dept. what happened and try to appease them. However, you at some point will have to correct this. You may need to hire an attorney to assist you.
