Wedding Wednesday: What needs to change when you change your last name?

Dear Indy Brides,

Everyone knows when you change your last name is the most amazing thing.. but what they don’t tell you is how many hoops you have to jump through to change it!

It’s my honor to let you know all the critical things that need to change after the wedding when you take his last name.

  1. Social Security Card - that can be done at your local Social Security Office or online. If you do it online, it’s a bit stressful - make sure you bring your drivers license/ passport & most of all, your marriage certificate (it must be a hard copy)

  2. Your Drivers License - That can be at the local BMV (bring your marriage license and social) You have to have your social-first in had, so do this a week or two later

  3. Your Bank accounts / Credit cards

  4. Email address & mailing address

Cheers, till next time
