Hi ladies, for those that have already changed your last names~did you order extra copies of your marriage license? A few sites I've gone on say that some of the gov. agencies need originals for their files. TIA

Re: Last name change
I got the copy in the mail and I went to the Municipal Building in Brooklyn and bought a second copy. I still have both copies, though. The only place I needed to mail an original was the passport office and they mailed it back to me.

what are you looking to change? i already changed my last name with social security and the DMV and i only had to show them my marriage license but they didn't need a copy of it. credit cards i was able to change just over the phone.

I wanted to change my SS card first and I thought I read that they needed to keep the orig. copy of the marriage cert. But, I guess I read it wrong. Thanks ladies xoxo

I didn't order extra copies. I went to DMV and SS in person. They looked at the original marriage certificate, but gave it back.

Nope, you don't have to give them your marriage cert., just show it!
