How And Where To Change Your Name After Your Wedding

  
Social Security has a rule that the bride must file an SS-5 form (a new application form showing change of name and/or marital status) within the fiscal year for tax purposes, (The SS-5 form should be filed, even if you are keeping your own name) along with an original proof of marriage.  Some Counties provide this form with the Marriage License.   

Social Security may take awhile if you rely on the mail, so I always suggest you have another proof on hand. Therefore, you may want to request two proofs of marriage. Check with Social Security first, see if you walk it in, will they just look at it and return it to you. I don't recommend taking a day off from work to go to the Motor Vehicle Office and any other place until you have an original marriage certificate in hand.

Change your name and address if applicable on the following:

    Driver’s License

    Car Registration

    Car Insurance

    Health Insurance

    Social Security Records

    Voter Registration

    Bank Accounts

    Credit Cards

    Will

     Passport
