   I have been thinking about this and I want to change my last name to his after the wedding, but we are not going on our honeymoon for 4 weeks. I knwo that is not enough time to get my passport updated, so I booked under my maiden name. However, I want to change it right after the wedding. I have also heard that you only…

   I'm changing my last name to his last name. You don't have to know what you want until you go to the Social Security office to change it. SS office won't charge you, but you will be charged to change it on your Drivers License, passport etc. Andlidst - you can change it on your social security card without changing it on…

   You don't have to decide until you go to change your name. After wedding #1 I was debating what I wanted to do and ultimately went with dropping my maiden name completely (I really love my middle name). Now, I kind of want to go back to and then keep my maiden name as a second middle name, if I can. I'll probably have to…

   FYI - If you change your name on your passport due to marriage within one year of it being issued, you don't have to pay. Over a year, though, and it will be the same cost as a renewal. I'm not changing my name. I don't mind being known socially by his last name, but I really like my middle name and don't want to drop it,…

   I'm just changing my last name. Both FI and I are pretty traditional, plus I like his last name way better. My middle name is also my mom's middle name and I didn't want to change that. So, my name will Be Rachel Ann FI LAST NAME.

   Changing your name with social security doesn't cost anything, and that's what makes it legal... changing your name on your license and passport will cost you

   This is a dumb question but I honestly don't know the answer. When do I have to know what my last name will be? Like before we get married? OR after when I go to the gov't offices to actually change my name? Is anyone else unsure of what they are going to do?

   I waivered on Allie MiddleName NEWlastName vs. Allie MaidenName LastName, but ultimately decided to keep my middle name. You don't have to decide before you get married, not until you change your name with social security

   I'm doing First Maiden NewLast (hate my middle name & glad to drop it), but I can't change it at work or anything without having it changed in the SS office. Then I will do license, passport, HR at work, bank, etc. etc...

    I have no idea.....but I also have a question. If you change your last name when you get married.....do you have to pay for it?
