Name Change
Hello,
It's my first time here, I hope you can help me out. I'm a July07 bride, I want to change my name but since I'm applying to medical residency for 2009 and application already started ( a lot of paper work, all with my current name), I was wondering if I still can change it down the road.I guess my question is, is there a time frame to change you name once you are married??
Thanks
Re: Name Change
I don't think there is a time limit. My friend did not change hers until she was pregnant 2+ years after their wedding. As long as you have a marriage certificate, you should be able to do it.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
The passport you can only get the name changed for free during the first year after the issuance of the passport- not the first year after you change your name.
Mine expires next June- I'm not renewing it and changing the name until after we get back from a trip in Dec. I'm not giving the government more money earlier than I need to
I just changed my name with the graduate school- so my degree will have married name on it.
Cancer sucks.
I have a friend who got married a couple of years ago and still hasn't changed her name legally. She signs with her married name on most things and her mail uses her married name, but legally she's never changed it. Most places don't even question her about it she said. If your passport is over a certain age, you can't change your name on it for free anyway, so then the one year rule doesn't apply. I had to get an entirely new one because mine was half way through its cycle. I would suggest that if you change your passport that you get your DL changed also. It is a LOT easier to travel abroad if they match. You also must make sure the name on your plane ticket matches your ID.
As for school & my national certification and all that: Currently it has my maiden name on it. My cycle is up this Dec. and I saw no reason to pay extra for new documents with the married name last summer, when I'll get them "free" this year when I renew the cert. anyway.
I chose to hyphenate my middle name to: First Middle-Maiden Married and that has really eliminated a lot of problems since my full maiden name AND full married name is always there.
