I need help...

I received my Wedding Certificate in the mail ( i think das what its called)...
So do i go ALL over with it???

Or how does it work??

How do i change my name in my job/bank/DMV..!?!?!?!?!?!?!?


HELP PLISSSSSSSS

Once you get your marriage license, you will ahev to go to social security to get your name changed there, same thing for DMV (you will need to change your regitration on your car as well). They need to see the original. I ordered another original copy for $10 from the town, so I would have more than one.

Contact your bank, credit card companies, insurance company, etc and most of them just ask you to fax, scan or mail a copy to them. Each place is different so it helps to call and ask!


***ETA: This is an old link I notebooked way back when - it has TONS of threads for newlywed related items!!

THE EVERYTHING NEWLYWED THREAD

go to SS office first with your marriage certificate

then go to DMV

SS took me an hour
DMV took me like 15 minutes, they will take a new picture of you so be prepared lol

Then go to your local bank and bring your marriage cert to change your name there

almost everything else let me do it over the phone
most of my credit cards changed it over the phone
2 of them asked me to fax my marriage certificate
car insurance/geico let me do it online


it was really easy, just takes a lot of time
I did a few places each day

I did DMV then Social security in one day. I thought you said you were going to hyphenate your name? You can do that too, so long as it is that way on your marriage license. I still havent gone to the bank to change my name I'm slacking!! But I also learned in order to change your passport, unless you've had it less than a year, you have to get a completely new one. There's also a website Miss to mrs . HTH

Ok so i go to SS...

and WHERE IS DA?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
