Getting My Name Changed

How do I go about getting my name changed. We were married on 4/20, but I've been so busy with school and final exams that I didn't have time to take care of it. I've heard that you need a certified copy of your marriage certificate. About 5 days after we got married we received our official marriage certificates  in the mail (we already had the keepsake one.) Aren't these certified? There is some sort of seal on it like a notary seal.

  • Once you have your certified copy, the most important place to go is the social security office and apply for a new social security card. Then do your license and passport and all of your accounts. I've been married over a year and finally got my social security taken care of a few months ago.
