Cher has revealed that getting a licence has proved difficult due to her unique name.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the singer confessed that it had been a while since she had driven a car.
Of course, the host had to ask: Did the music icon have a driver’s licence – and was there a last name on it?

“I don’t have a last name,” she said, confirming that it lists simply “Cher” on her license.
“I had to go to court, they give you a special dispensation or whatever you call it. You have to prove that someone could know you, like the populace could know you by that name.
“It’s not easy.”

Kimmel suggested that if Cher were to show up in person, there would be no question of her identity.
In the superstar’s memoir Cher: The Memoir, Part One, which was released last November, she recalled discovering her full name on her birth certificate.
Cher had always believed her name was Cherilyn, but didn’t discover the truth until she had decided to legally change her name to Cher.
When she looked at her birth certificate the name printed in front of her read “Cheryl”.
She explains her mother, Georgia Holt, mixed the names up when telling the nurses.
When Cher confronted her mum, she “simply shrugged”, Cher wrote.
“I was only a teenager, and I was in a lot of pain. Give me a break,” Holt said, according to the memoir.

Kimmel also asked Cher if she had ever considered doing jury duty, with the star admitting, “They won’t take me.”
The talk show host suggested that she might be “too famous” for jury duty, though Cher says it’s because she’s “too distracting”, explaining she once visited a court session to prepare for a role as a lawyer.
Still, upon her arrival, “The judge kicked me out after 10 minutes.”
