@smichek You live in the states or Canada? Why did you need a birth certificate at the DMV? That's odd, I just handed them the paper the SS office gave me and that was it, they didn't even ask for the marriage license. And you don't need to wait for your dad's to come in the mail, you could have gone to the town hall where you were born and gotten one (not a copy).

Every state sets their own requirements. Not odd, just how it is.

And yeah, smichek lives across the country from where she was born.

So far, I've just kept planning international travel to put off the change. Oh darn, going to Canada, can't possibly change my name now, not enough time. Shoot, England? Guess I'm going to have to wait another month...

Reading all these posts is scaring me since I will be changing my name.... I hate (I dunno how to put it) DOING things??

Out of curiosity has anyone heard of anything about or actually used that Kleinfeld name change service? Just wondering if it was worth considering.

I haven't looked into it, but my understanding was that all they do is fill out the forms for you. You still have to actually go and sit in government office hell. Which is obviously, the worst part.
