Sorry if this question has been asked before.  Which name do I sign AFTER I get married? My maiden name or the name I plan to use after I legally change it?

    Your maiden name.  That is what is on the license.

    I think it depends on the state...in Michigan you sign your married name or what you want your name to be legally!

    [QUOTE]I think it depends on the state, too; there was a post like this on another board a couple weeks ago and some people said they were told to do one and some said they were told to do the other. Call your County Clerk's office and ask them. That way, you're sure to do the right thing :)

    Calling the County Clerk's office is a good idea. Stupid me forgot to ask them when I picked up the license.
