Changing Your Name
Posted on | June 15, 2007 |
Welcome to Day Five of WHN’s Wedding Week!
If you’re changing your name, your spouse is changing his/hers or, you’re both changing your names, here are a few tips:
1. Don’t change your name before the honeymoon! (See yesterday’s post for more honeymooning tips).
2. Order extra copies of your marriage certificate, if possible, from the office where the certificate was filed.
3. You will need to notify government agencies, financial institutions and other organizations about your name change. Bring along a copy of your marriage certificate with you. Click here for a suggested list of institutions you might wish to notify.
4. In some instances, an organization might not accept or recognize your name change. You might then need a court order. Read this article from Nolo.com to learn more.
