Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to make the name changing process easier? I'm not sure where to begin. Thanks.
Thanks Karen, I will probably have a few more questions as I get into doing it. I am going to go to the DMV one morning in Manhattan next week. I saw there is a location at Herald Square that opens at 8:30am. It`s so funny to use a new name, all week I`ve been trying to get the name out when I answer my phone. It made my husband (!) very happy when he called me today.
I'm having the same problem, and it's been almost seven months since we got married. I find it really hard to change it, even though I didn't think it would be a big deal for me before the wedding. I've done nothing to change it, and I'm also not quite sure where to start.
I went to the DMV and changed my name. it costs $3.00 and you must go with your marriage license and current driver`s license. The bank required some forms to be filled out by both of us and needed to photocopy the marriage license. Credit cards & utilities will do it over the phone (kinda scary right?). My passport just expired so I am going to renew by mail. They want you to send the original certificate with the proper forms. My mother is a travel agent and she assures me they will send it back but I am a bit wary of sending off the original. I know you can order additional ones but I haven`t looked into it yet. With my job, it is in the works. Social Security office should be next on my list. The hardest part so far is getting use to this new name being MY name. It`s very odd. I did marry into an easier last name though which is great, my maiden name was difficult.
