Sorry- the last post led me to more questions.... I have had to wait a month until after our HM to change my name etc. After we get back from HM, I have a week off of work which is when I have to run all these errands b/c I am a teacher and don't have flexibnility throughout the work day to run these places. I was planning to use that week to go take care of all name change activities: SS office, DMV, HR at my work, create new bank accounts with DH, call and change my name and bank account etc. with all my creditors. Is all of this even feasible in one week? IF I go to the SS office in one day, can I even do any of these other things until I get my new SS card? Another question is that we just received our marriage license in the mail today. Do I just take this copy to the SS office (and does it matter which county I go to?) and then they mail my new card? Can I just go do this now before we leave for Mexico so it is here by the time we get back and I can go take care of all this other stuff? Do they keep a copy of your marriage license at the SS office or just look at it? Do I need my actual SS card to travel abroad or can I get a head start on that part? i.e. my HR department needs to see my new SS card in order to change my life insurance, email, etc.... Any advice as to how to do these or in what particular order in order to try to get them done by the last week in November????? Thanks!
