Wow, thanks for all the helpful information. I was totally overwhelmed with all the different information out there about how to change you name. This site really breaks down each step in an easy to understand way that helped me figure out the name change process!!

Hi, I found your website very detailed and helpful. While usually the same IDs would have to be changed (drivers licence, passport etc), is there a Canadian version website that someone is aware of? I realize some of the forms mentioned here are geared towards US. Thanks

It would be great if the Social Security office would notify all other government agencies of your new married name. I would also settle for being able to notify all those government offices, like SS, DMV, IRS and passport services online without having to fill out paperwork.

Until then, we are happy to make the name change process a little less confusing for new brides. I wish a site like this was out there when I was changing my name. It would have saved me a lot of time and headaches!

Good advice on here with changing your name. Although,I think it’s pretty ridiculous that women today are expected to take their husband’s name. As women, we have to plan the wedding already and then deal with the headache of changing our names. The only caveat for me is having children. If I choose to keep my maiden name, will people think my children aren’t mine? It would be great if combining last names was common practice and all it took was contacting SS who then contacted all the gov’t registrations automatically!

Thank you so much for providing useful name change information. After searching the internet, I became so frustrated with all the misinformation and pay services out there. Your truly a time and lifesaver! I’m telling every bride to be about Mrs Forever.

Yes I did already go through the name change process! We did that the week after the honeymoon…

I decided to keep my maiden name as my middle and take his last name for my own.

Crazy process!

I love to write my new name, but it is still so weird to hear it and realize that someone is talking about me!
