541. Re: Changing your name

     Yes. Changing your last name takes some time. You first have to change it through the SSA. Once you receive your new card/wait the amount of days they tell you to you can then change it with the DMV. Once that is done you can change your name on everything else. Trying to do this prior to your HM, depending on how long you…

542. Re: Last Name Change

     

     Reply by bpphoto785 · February 2012 · Home› Wedding Month Club Boards› May 2012 Weddings

     I'm taking his last name. Both of our last names are long and uncommon so hyphenating would be rather difficult, especially once we have children. My last name doesn't work as a middle name so I'm just dropping it. It felt really bittersweet until I read the article below and loved how one woman put how she felt about…

     We got our marriage cert the day we returned from the HM too, and I made about 30 copies of it, because here in the South (maybe everywhere since we all seem to be paranoid these days), I had to write individual letters with pen-on-paper signatures and attach/enclose the photocopy in order to change my name. You can't…

544. Groom Changing Last Name

     

     Discussion by neko13 · October 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Recap and Withdrawal

     Does anyone know how this would work? My fiance is dropping his last name and changing it to mine (so we will be Mr and Mrs Mylastname). Can we just do it like girls do and take the marriage certificate to the SSA and have them change his name on his SS card and then go from there (drivers license, etc.), or will this old…

     1. A marriage license is valid for 30 days from when you pick it up, so you can't go any earlier. My registrar suggested getting it 2 wks before, just in case anything happened that would postpone the wedding. You don't want to wait to re-do the application. 2. While there seems to be a lot of conflicting reports, the NJ…

546. Using passport after changing my name...

     

     Discussion by annmarie714 · October 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Honeymoon Discussions

     My passport is in my maiden name (I got it when I was 16) and I have since changed my name after the wedding. H is in school in MI, pretty close to Canada, and we wanted to travel over there and spend the day. Can I use my old passport with my maiden name or do I need to go through and change my name on it before I can use…

     OH and I meant this: I'm sure there could be problems if you go to the SS office and change your last name but use your passport with your old last name (i.e. you didn't change it yet). Because:Your passport is linked with your SS#. And if your old name is on your passport, it will not match the name associated with your…

     I live in Oakland County too and found this: What's the process of legally changing my last name after marriage? Following your wedding ceremony, you will receive a marriage certificate, which is a piece of paper proving that you are legally married. This certificate will serve as evidence of your marriage, which you'll…

     Oh and resumes...I changed those too, which came in handy today when I had to send it to someone and I didn't have to change my name at the last minute :)
