Another marriage license/name change question

When I change my name - do I have to give all those places my official license, or just show it to them?


So - do I need to give them (SS, DMV, etc) my official license to keep, so I have to get official copies from the town hall, or do I just bring one with me to show them and then get to take my license home?

you just show it to them....they don't keep it. they don't need it.

Go to the SS office - they will need an ORIGINAL marriage certificate (they don't keep it)

DMV requires the same as the SS Office.

Banks will require your new license/state issued ID and the ORIGINAL marriage certificate (they don't keep it)

CC's you can call over the phone and do it (or even online)

Utility Bills will require a copy of your new SS/new Driver's license.

Also, I would get an extra copy of your marriage certificate anyway, and keep it in a safety deposit box.

Thats a good idea - I think official copies are only 5 dollars, right?

I just went to SS and the DMV today and they just look at the license (drivers and marriage) and give it right back to you.
