It's been asked millions of times...

but what are the steps for legally changing your name in NJ? I have googled it and I can't find a definitive answer.  I'm pretty sure I go to Social Security first and then DMV and then do credit cards and banking-is that right?

Thanks ladies!

  • Since I've done this twice now ;-)

     

    Go to SS, all you need is your marriage license to get it changed.

    Take you marriage license, birth certificate, proof of residence and whatever else to get to the points # to DMV (I found out with my divorce cert that had both names on it, I didn't have to wait till a bill came in my new name...)

    The CCs and bills are just phone calls, they don't even need any proof (well, except my school loans, they wanted a copy of the marriage license)

  • Thank you so much, Sunfire! Big Smile

  • Just a heads up: the SS office in Mt. Holly had me in and out in 10 minutes.  I've heard horror stories of hours long waiting times at the Cherry Hill office.

    Good luck!

  • Yeah, Mt. Holly (on Rt 38) is usually empty and pretty quick.

    Thanks for the tip!

  • I actually did the DMV first. I don't think it matters.
