I changed my name first and then the marker. It’s going to vary by state what the process looks like, but it’s doable. I changed my name in AZ, where my birth certificate was issued, and so I updated that at the same time. Then changed my marker on my license in NY where I live as it would be much easier to change my BC with that, and then requested my BC be fixed after doing so.

Yee I know the name doesn’t have to line up, I’ve just only heard of people doing both at the same time so I wanted to know if it was possible to do one and then the other later :)
