Change your name...

I found this in one of my wedding magazines and thought it might be helpful:

To change your Social Security card:
Dowload the SS-5 form from the SS website socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.html once you've filled it out, you can either mail it or turn it in directly.

To change your driver's license
Visit your local full-service Department of Motor Vehicles to fill out a change of name request form. Don't forget to bring along your current drivers license and marriage license. Fill out the MV-44 form
dmv webpage


To change your passport
This process can take longer than others (about 6 weeks). Downlod the forms you need from http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/correcting/correcting_2654.html You'll need to send back the completed forms along with your old passport-sized photos, your marriage license and the applicable fees.

Once you have the new versions of the items above, changing your name on other documents is relatively easy. Below is a list of places you'll want to notify of your name change and documents that will need to be updated

-employer
-banks
-credit card companies
-401(k) / retirement fund
-IRA
-Mortgage
-Loans
-leases
-stocks and bonds
-doctors' offices
-insurance (health, life, auto and home)
-utilities (phone, cable, gas and electric)
-will
-club memberships
-magazine subscriptions
-voter registration

Thank you!

And ladies when you change your name at your bank, make sure you tell them to still allow them to deposit and cash checks made to your maiden name!
