Name change...

Name change...

Where do I start? I'm assuming I need to go to social security first, am I right? Then I can do everything else?

You need to go to SS first then dmv, but you can change your credit cards anytime.

Start with ssn once you get your certificate in the mail. Then DMV, passport. Then I guess work stuff (401k, insurance) and bank accounts. Then start your credit cards and other misc. Make sure you get your photo id changed before you change things like cc.

I got married in October and only did ssn, work and bank accounts. Been too lazy and too cold to walk to DMV on my lunch hour!

I wrote to you on another thread - are you still delayed? when can you head out?

I went to DMV first , then I went to SS. I dont think it matters, as long as you have your marriage cert.

I went to SSA with my marriage certificate, then changed my name at work, with my credit cards, and finally got over to DMV a few weeks ago - that wasn't fun! I waited on the longest line, but it's over with now

Next on the list is my passport, but I first need to order a certified copy of my certificate. Then once I receive that, I have to mail the certificate along with my passport to have my name changed. It sounds like a long process, but with everyone going on right now, I don't expect to be traveling out of the country anytime soon.
