I'm one of the first 08 brides and I didn't do it yet. It just seems like such an annoying process. When I do it, I also have to change my professional license and all my work related stuff as well in addition to just the basics. ugh.

I didn't do it until 5 months--I did it on DH's birthday. I still haven't changed everything but at least the biggies are done.

i changed mine with dmv and CCs -- but passport and social security are still my maiden. i b lazy



i feel better now



be careful with that it can mess up your earnings with SS and affect you a million years from now!



so SS is a must? i started printing out forms for name changes for DMV, voting, etc and Im like freaking out lol I dont want to change anything.

I changed almost everything when I got my Marriage Certificate which wasnt until the beginning of July. Change it when you get a chance dont make yourself crazy

I did it right away only because we got married in the summer and i'm a teacher and i know if i didn't do it during the summer i would have never done it because i would have been too busy during the year.

I haven't done anything yet either. To be totally honest, i'm having a hard time of letting go of my last name. Its such a big deal to DH though, he wants me to change it on everything! I think i just need to take my time doing it.

i changed my name on my ss card, driver's license, and some credit cards. and i started using my new last name at work. i still haven't changed some of my credit cards, any of our bills (cable, electric, etc) or with my school loans. it seemed like it would be fun at first, but it wasn't so i sorta gave up for now. lol. i figure i have the big things done so that's enough for the time being :) i still think of myself as having my maiden name though...i get confused when somebody calls me by his last name :)

I'm still in the process, I just changed my license last month when I was back in NY. I did SS probably a month after we got married and did my credit cards then too. Still have one CC to change and I haven't done my passport yet. I wasn't that worried about it, but I feel better now that my license is done!

I did mine ASAP. I was really looking forward from cutting my last name from 11 letters to 3

I only have my passport to change.

I did SS and my CC right away. I am finally going to go to the DMV next week. So that will be everything except my passport. Don't know when I'll get around to that

I got married May 26th last year and I didn't change my name until August 6th. I needed to wait to get another day off from work. I used my birthday as my day off for that stuff.
