Name Change

Changing your name

 Suppose we want to change our name(s)?

Each state differs as to their procedure. Every state also has rules regarding what names you can simply change to vs. what type of names you will have to do through a court proceedings.  New York’s license application includes a spot to note any name changes desired. In New Jersey there isn’t a spot.


What to do next and how differs from state to state. In New Jersey and New York, generally your first step is to take your certified marriage certificate and other required identification to The Social Security Administration and apply for a new social security card. This comes first because you’ll need it for DMV. At DMV, DMV where you can change your license, voter registration and car registration, all at the same time!, Once this is done then you can change your passport.


Don’t forget to update you name everywhere else to avoid problems. This includes: doctors, insurance providers, employers, credit cards, banks, car titles and registrations, mortgages, deeds, utility companies, loans, leases, and anywhere else!
