This is a great question and answers are our specialty. Your account will need to be active for 30 days to change your last name. You will need to visit a Verizon Retail Store and show a valid photo ID. You can find a store near you here: http://vz.to/2tGzphJ

I went to the Verizon store and despite being a customer for over 15 years, having same DOB, same PIN, address and first name - nothing has changed except my last name, since I married- I was refused access to my own account and refused  to allow me to change my name on the account.

My new license has my new name- the old license was retained at DMV. I had my social security card undet he new name,as well. I was told by clerks at store that I needed  picture ID with my old name - not possible, since they were changed.

Verizon's policy is more restrictive than any other merchant I have dealt with- and seems to stem from people who are criminals and use false names, etc.  As nothing else for me had changed, it was obvious I was who I said I was. The policy in effect is a marriage penalty and discrimnates against women, since men will never change their name.
