Is there anything I missed? (first thing- b-4 & after marriage)

So everyone always asks 'WHAT DO I DO FIRST?' and the answers you will find are:

Driver's License
Social Security Card
Post Office [for address changing]
Credit Cards
Bank Accounts

BUT- there's A LOT MORE to change that no one thinks of.. And this thread will list some. Ladies- please throw in any that I forgot and I will try to keep this updated. Just FM me if I miss it! Thanks!

A list of the obscure ones that people forget:

Mortgage
Home Owner's Insurance
Gas bill
Electric bill
Water bill
Medical Insurance
W2 forms or any tax forms for your payroll at work
Dental Insurance
Cell Phone Bill
Land line Bill
Cablevision Bill
Internet Bill
Passport
Any internet store that you shop from:
eBay Account
PayPal Account
Amazon
Victoria's Secret
etc etc...


At the DMV, change the name on your title and registration too.


And if anyone changes their EMAIL accounts, remember to change this info on any websites and your bridal registries

Also- after your name change, be sure to:
[b]See if you should go under DH's insurance plan versus yours..
Update any beneficiary forms..[/b]

[b]Also, any member of a professional association who chooses to change their name professionally-you should call said organization to find out how.[/b]

after your name change -
* see if you should go under DH's insurance plan versus yours..
* update any beneficiary forms..

Change you name for any rewards programs, like airlines or hotel rewards.

Also has to be changed on professional certificates (teaching certs. or law license for example)

pension plan if you have one

401 K or 403 b if you have one...also, most people then add the hubby as the beneficiary for these things...


This is all I got for now girls... Throw me any that I forgot!


Can someone help me out....

What do girls do if they are NOT changing their name? or if they are hyphenating it....what Do they need to do?
