09er crashing question about name change
Hey girls! Sorry to crash I just have a quick question. A lot of the checklists I am seeing advise to start the name change process prior to the wedding? Is that accurate? Did you girls do that or did you/are you waiting till after the wedding? Please let me know! Just curious! TIA!

Re: 09er crashing question about name change
definitely after the wedding. you can't change anything until you have your marriage certificate. i think you can start getting the DMV and SSA forms prepared beforehand, but that's really it.

Re: 09er crashing question about name change
probably the only things you can change are credit cards since u can do it right online. you need the marriage license for dmv, ss, & banks.

Re: 09er crashing question about name change
Oh my gosh I couldn't imagine doing it before, you need your marriage license to do it I think. I still need to do it officially and it's been almost a year! I've been introducing myself and getting any mail sent to me in my new last name though. I really need to get on that, it just seems like it is so annoying!

Re: 09er crashing question about name change
You should also wait until after the honeymoon if you are traveling by air or abroad. You wouldn't want to get stopped for your name not matching on that passport or drivers license. I think it takes a long time for the new passport to come in...
