Name change process
I thought I saved it on my computer but apprently not.....so what's the process of changing my name on everything? How many offical copies do I need of the marriage liscense and were should I start
Re: Name change process
I got 3 copies but 2 would've been plenty and I could've just got one if I was patient. For certain things you have to mail in an official copy and you'll get it back but it might take a while. But most things you do in person they look at it and hand it back to you.
If my memory serves me correctly, you teach or work in schools, right? If your job requires a certificate, you have to change your name on that too. I didn't think of it at first and I was annoyed at how much they charged but since I was applying for a new job, I had to.
I went to SS first, then DMV and then I went and changed everything else. Make sure you change your registration too at the DMV. I forgot to do that (and still haven't) and my car insurance needs a copy of that to change the name over.
After that I did:
-Bank
-Home Owners Insurance
-Bills (some of which still didn't change over)
-Mortgage
-Credit cards
I didn't change over my name on the deed, because that costs money. Your maiden name is still in your SS chain, so it really doesn't matter.
Don't forget to tell your work! It can really affect your witholdings,etc.
Thanks for the info....Does my work need anything to change my name and how about the mortgage? Do I just call and change my name or do they need proof?
Oh and how about your passport? I read up on how to do it but what is the charge? I've had my passport for 5 yrs already so do I do it like a renewal?
TIA
I think every work place is different. My work needed my new license, I think.
The passport website has info on changing your passport - it's like a renewal, but there's a form for name change. I think it cost me $70? I don't remember.
I didn't change my name on my mortgage until we refinanced. Like Izzy said - it costs money and it doesn't matter if you leave your maiden name on.
I did the DMV (needed my certificate and my old license) and then the SS office. The Glassboro office is so hit or miss, but definitely do it in person. I tried to do it by mail and everything was in limbo for 2 weeks until I went to track it down.
I didn't change my name on my passport until I needed a full renewal, but all the instructions are on the govt web site.
Your work payroll office will most likely need a copy of your marriage certificate.
I called my mortgage company and they told me what I needed to send in. I needed a copy of my marriage license, a copy of my home owner's insurance with my new name, and I needed to fill out one of their forms.
I think I have some name change stuff on here: http://izzy523.googlepages.com/
I can't see it at work, and I can't remember. I think there's a 'Name Change' page though and it might have passport stuff.
