Name Change?

How do you do this? Is there like one stop that gets it done, or do you have to go to a bunch of places? TIA!

You have to start at the Dept of Social Security. After, you go to the DMV to get a new license. Then you have to start going into your banks and calling your credit card companies. It's def not a one-stop process.

it's not a one stop process, but it's really not that painful. i had everything changed the week we can home from our honeymoon.

yep, i didn't pay for any forms, and i had everything prepared when i went to the SS office and the DMV, so i was good to go.

Re: Name Change?

First I went to SS and they changed my name officially. Then I had to go to the DMV because I had to change my name on my driver's license. And you have to wait 24 hours so your new name shows up at the DMV. That's as far as I've gone LOL
