New Nestie! + Name Change Question
Hey ladies,
It's weird to log in and get taken straight to the nest! I still need to post my vendor reviews on the knot community...
Anyway, I'm changing my name, and I know I need to go to SS office first, then DMV to change my license and registration. But after that, do I just call my credit cards and make changes, or can I do that online? Is there anything I'm forgetting?
Thanks!
Re: New Nestie! + Name Change Question
i sent my credit cards a form letter, i couldn't really find anywhere online for it. Basically I said, my name is Lauren, formerly Smith, I got married (see attached copy of certificate) and would like the name on my account to reflect my married name, Jones. Here are the accounts it will be affecting: #1234567. Signed, Lauren Jones.
Also make sure to check with your bank, your employer, and your insurances. It took my job over 6 months to change my name on my insurance.

As for name change:
I called my credit card company and did it over the phone with a customer service rep with no problems.
I went to the bank with my marriage certificate to change the name on my account there.
Student loans will need a copy of the marriage lisence. Not sure if a photocopied one works.
Passport name change you will need to mail in a certified copy of the marriage lisence, current passport, and I think a certified birth certificate. You will get all of them back.
I called my CCs to change my name and most had a formal form that I had to fill out and I had to provide a copy of my marriage certificate which I just faxed in. Don't forget to change your student loans if you have any...I forgot to do this for quite awhile!
I went to the DMV in Hartford mid-morning and had no wait and no issues getting it changed, but I've heard that depends on which location you go to.
Actually sometimes it speeds up the process if you go to DMV first then SS. I did that and the SS woman was so happy so see me have an ID in my new name. I also it my banks the same day, and did the name change in person which only took a few minutes.
Other places to think about: job; school (if you're presently in college/grad school/etc); former schools (transcripts/alumni assoc.); professional or recreational associations; health/life/home/auto/etc insurance; online profiles/shopping clubs; cell phone/cable/utilities/etc bills; doctors' offices; lawyers' offices; accountant offices; stocks/bonds; loans; resume.
I got the bridal name change kit from the knot shop and I've been steadily working my way through it. It provides a checklist of places and also form letters to fill out and send in.
