repost from bhb! it's official... i got

my marriage certificate in the mail today! now i am able to join all of you on the newlyweds board!

and now for my question... how do you go about changing your name... where do i start ?
thanks!

I went to DMV first...with Driver's License, Marriage Certificate, Social Security Card and Birth Certificate. I didn't need the BC. Then I went to Social Security. Then the bank. Those are the only things you have to do in person. The rest I either call or write to change. I saved the passport for last cuz you have to mail them the original marriage certificate.
Be warned, you do have to take a picture at DMV.

I went to SS first.

Congrats!

I went to DMV and then SS. Remember to bring your marriage certificate to the bank. They will ask for it.

P.S. Congrats!

Yay!!! Janet...welcome to Newlyweds!!!

I just rebumped the post with all the info you'll need to change your name. Good Luck!!!

thanks you all for the great welcome to this board! and advice! now for the snow to stop so i can getthis rolling!
