Changing Your Name

Once you're married, there is a lot of paperwork required to change your name legally.  Not to worry!  Once you get your marriage license, the process usually goes quite easily.

One tip, though - if you travel on your honeymoon, you'll need to make reservations in your MAIDEN name - especially if you're traveling out of the country.  You won't have time to change your passport before you leave, and you'll need it!

Below is a list of items that you'll need to remember to change once you get the ball rolling:

• Social Security Card
• Driver's License
• Bank Accounts (Savings, Checking, etc.)
• Investment Accounts
• Credit Cards
• Auto Insurance
• Auto Registration
• Memberships (like your health club)
• Health Insurance
• 401K
• Work
• Property Titles
• Mortgages
• Voter Registration Card
• Passport
• Your Will
• Insurance Policies
• Medical & Dental Records

Every person is different, so use this list as a base.  You may have to change your name other places that are not listed here.

If you're moving, don't forget to change your address at the Post Office!

It's a good idea to order an extra copy or two of your marriage license, because some things on the list above will require an original certified copy to change your name.
