"My family had always called me Miley and my dad called me Miley Ray," Miley previously told Access Hollywood of plans to change her name.
So as Miley is about to get behind the wheel, she'd like to stick to just one name.

"I am getting my license, so instead of having a thousand different names on it, just having Miley Ray, which is also kind of cool because my name and my dad's names look alike," she added.
The petition, filed by parents Leticia and Billy Ray Cyrus, states that the "Hannah Montana" star wants to "make her commonly used name the same as her legal name."
