intro and question :-)
Hi Nesties! I guess I'm officially a nestie now too:-) I know some of you from the knot, but for those of you that don't know me, my name is Meghan and I just got married at the Smithville Inn on June 5th.
I know this gets asked a lot, but I'm starting the name change process on Thursday. I was going to go to the DMV first, then SS, and then the bank. Is this the right order to go in? And when going to SS, do you have to wait, or can I just drop off the form and a copy of my marriage certificate? I just wanted to know how much time this might take. TIA! And I look forward to getting to know you girls better!
Pregnant with twins! :-)

Re: intro and question :-)
Hi - congrats and welcome!
I'm pretty sure that you could do either SS or DMV first.. order doesn't matter. I did SS first, and yes, you have to sit and wait to be called.. I went to the office in Glassboro, waited about 30 minutes to be called, and then spoke with the representative for a whole 2 minutes. They take your old SS card, and your new one is sent in the mail.
I then went to DMV - changed my name on license and car registration. Then I did all the other little things - some places let me fax in a copy of my new license/ marriage certificate, and some I had to do in-person. GL!
I don't really have anything to the name change discussion, but I wanted to say welcome to the nest!
Hey Meghan!! Glad to see you over here! Do you have any pics from your wedding day???
As for the name change, I think you can do either SS or DMV first, but you need to do both before you can proceed with bank, credit cards, etc. I went to ss first and waited while they processed my information. I am pretty sure you have to be there in person. I went to the one in center city during my lunch break and it took maybe 45 minutes (beware of some interesting characters at the ss office).
Hey Krista! Yes I do have pics!

Hi & welcome
I have the steps listed and some links to forms in my blog, on the side in the Our Wedding Link. That should take you to my Bio and there's a Name Change Tips Link.
They are awesome!!! You looked gorgeous and both looked so happy!
Sooo....how is married life??
Thank you!! Married life is great! It's nice to have all the wedding gifts put away and just relax. I just have to get our thank you cards finished! How are you and the hubby doing? I saw your vacation pics- looks like you guys had a great time!
Hi Meg! Glad to see you over here! I'm f/k/a jmhendy.
I have info in my blog regarding the name change. I went to the Mt. Holly SSA office and was in and out in 15 minutes. I went to the DMV on 42 in Turnersville and waited about a half hour.
I asked this same exact question a few weeks ago and got a lot of great answers. While I have not yet started the process (yes, I am slow!), here is a summary of the answers:
Good Luck!
