   I had a great name change experience. It took me less than an hour, including driving time. I went to Social Security in Ansonia first. I was the only one there, and everyone was done within minutes. Then I went to a DMV photo license center instead of a full service branch. I went to the one in Milford Town Hall. Again, I…

   When I changed my name with the SS office I lived in New Britain, but I went to the New Haven office because we had to pick up our marriage license in New Haven.

   I don't think they care which office you go to - they are a state agency so it's all the same. I went to Bridgeport and had to wait about 45 minutes. You have to do SS first because they need your driver's license with your maiden name for proof of id. Neither they nor DMV keep an original of your marriage certificate -…

    I went to the East Hartford office right on Burnside Ave. No appt needed, took a # from the kiosk and was in and out in under 10 minutes. I didn't need to form they have on their website or my old SS# card - just the license. New card came in about a week but they said up to 2.
