So my work changed my e-mail to my new name pretty quick. So i started giving out my new one. Turns out that the name on the e-mail changed but not the address. Every thing has been change except on. Though I do stillhave to change my I-9 form but I need my license and that has yet to come.
A nother name issue. I think I changed it too fast. I changed it at the docotrs office so my new meds have my new name on it but i don't have the medical card with my new name. i am nervous to go to the pharmacy to see if I can even get them. They are refills so I might not need them for a month or so. So I could get the cards by then I hope. I know others are have issues too. Anyone have any with the docs offfice?
Re: stupid work name change
I strongly recommend you start with changing your SS card, then your DL, then everything else from there. It makes the process of changing everything else smoother. Note I said smoother - not perfect. I think you'll run into few issues like Sarah is having if you start at the top and work your way down.
I have heard stories from various resources about the challenges of changing our names in so many places. But the one that sticks with me is when the SS office told someone that by getting her driver's license changed before her SS information, she has now created and alias that is tracked in the government's system, as an alias, from now on. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's just scary enough to have the SS office on the top of my list.
Kelly - if there are separate insurance companies for the different lines of coverage, then it may be the insurance companies that are holding up your ID cards. I work in HR, and this is a typical issue that arises since we have separate companies that provide our health and dental. My additions of my husband and stepson were processed on the same date for both health & dental, but my cards came several days apart.
It's not an issue at the pharmacy. I'm a pharmacist, just tell them when you drop off your prescriptions that you've recently changed your name. Should be fine
Good luck
