Name Change, Step 1!

sarahufl · August 2014

Went to the Social Security office this morning to start changing my name! It was pretty quick and painless

Yay! SS was the easiest by far for me. 15 minutes, in & out.

.....I am still waiting for my paperwork that allows me to change SS and my drivers liscense.

Social Security was so easy that it put the fear of identity theft in me. They didn't do anything to verify I was who I said I was and allowed me to submit a new address to send the new card to.

It is absolutel so much easier than people think! Those stupid name change services are such a rip off.

What paperwork are you waiting for? I only had to get a copy of my certified marriage license (which was available from my town clerk's office and you can print the Name Change/New SS card request paper directly from their website. They then give you the option of mailing it in or taking it in person (which is what I opted to do). I was married on Saturday and by the following Friday my name was changed with SS and DMV. I got my new cards in the mail with in 1 1/2 weeks.

Md sends you a card to take to the dmv and ss. I'm waiting on the card. If I don't have one when I get home, I'll be calling the courthouse again
