I'm sure this topic comes up constantly here... If I'm reading the documents that were sent with my marriage certificate right, then it looks as though I need to do name changes IN PERSON? Rumor has it, I need to do SSN, and then DMV?
If someone can advise, or bump an old thread it would be appreciated.
Thanks Newlies!

Re: Name Change Process
Social Security and DMV must be done in person. Make sure you bring your marriage license with you. I don't think it matters what order you do it in. I changed my name at DMV first and the Social Security.

Re: Name Change Process
i just bumped the thread for you...
i did SS, then DMV, then the bank in one day in that order... I did hear that you can do SS through the mail, but then you have to mail in your orignal marriage liscence, which made me nervous...

Re: Name Change Process
Can you download the forms, so that you have everything ready when you get there?
but do I really need my parents SS#'s to complete this?
Nevermind...I read on some old threads that it is not necessary even though it is on the form.

I went to the one in Patchogue. They send your card in the mail, takes about 7-10 days.

I was at the one in Freeport today. It's on Sunrise Highway. They said it will take about 5 days to get the new card in the mail
