Re: Name change kit?
I was just looking at that kit just yesterday. I am not sure if I want to use it. I can't wait to see what the ladies say about this.

Re: Name change kit?
I didn't use a kit... it's really not that hard to change your name... you just need to get your marriage liscense in the mail... I went to social security, spent about 5 minutes there and then 2 weeks later I had a new card... then I went to the DMV and filled out some paperwork, took a new pic, paid 5 bucks and actually got my new driver's liscense today... w/ my credit cards, I have been writing on my monthly statement that I changed my name (send it along with a pymt) and they have sent me new cards... so far, it has been pretty easy... there are obviously things I still need to change, but I am sure I will get that done in time...
good luck!

Re: Name change kit?
I have a question. Can you change your name before your married, after you have your marriage license? Or do you have to wait for it to be signed by a priest?

i am 99.9% sure you need to wait until you have thepapaer work from the priest sent into the town offices and then they send you bck your official marriage licences ...ince you have that...then you can go nuts
otherwise if you wanted to change your name before you would have to go to local courts and that is a pain in the butt and at that point i am not sure if they would even change it for you
