How do i change my name now that I'm married as of 5/30? I'm not sure where to start, because, to complicate things:
1. My wallet got stolen so I have no Driver's License right now. I do have my US Passport in my maiden name, and already received marriage certificate copies.
2. I plan to drop my middle name and make my maiden last name my new middle name. I will be taking my husbands new last name. No hyphens, only 3 names in the end.
This makes me think I need to start at the social security office to make the legal name change first? (I'm in no hurry to get my license back).
I just don't want to then go to the DMV to learn they can only issue one in my maiden name as that would be pointless.
I figure then after getting my name legally changed, and a new license, then I can change everything else (bank statements/ work benefits, etc)?
Thanks for ANY pointers!
