benandelena Posted February 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2007 We will honeymooning 2 weeks after our wedding. I'm sure this is not long enough for the name change process to be completed, but should I take my marriage cert anyway? I will have my old ID, SS card, BC, etc all in my maiden name. Also, how do I even go about changing my name??? I assume I need to get a new DL, SS card, work badge....what else? Any pointers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted February 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If I was you, what I'd do is wait until after my honeymoon to change my name...as no, two weeks wouldn't be enough time imo to change all documents (I'm in Canada - so that would include changing my passport). It may vary from place-to-place but how it works here is I can either legally change my name, which means EVERYTHING changes but the main difference is in my birth certificate which would be changed to his name - this involves filling out a form with the government at a small cost ...OR... I can assume his name. To do that, I simply take my marriage certificate to the different places and ask them to change it. This is no cost - but may involve minor costs, such as getting new cheques printed. I have an extensive list on my computer at home of all the places/people I have to notify. I can share that list here if you'd like! I am going to assume the name. So I will change everything to his name but not my birth certificate.

lvtotrvl1 Posted February 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Make your cruise reservation with your maiden name. Change everything upon return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benandelena Posted February 16, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted February 16, 2007 OK, I guess I will have to wait to have everything changed. Frazzle, a list of places to go to have everything chaged would be great! I am in the US, but I'm sure most things are comparable. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
