Getting married? Don’t forget to purchase a change of name kit!
Most women who get married opt to have a change of surname and take their husband’s family name. Changing your name can easily be accomplished by signing your new name on your marriage license. However, once you’ve changed your name, you also have to change the name written on certain legal documents and cards, such as your driver’s license, bank accounts, passports, mailing addresses and mortgages. To do this, you have to get in touch with various local agencies and organizations, and under specific circumstances, you may be required to pay a fee. The process of revising your name in these documents and the laws governing name changes vary, depending on which state you live in.
If you wish to avoid going through all the hassle of changing your name and revising important documents, you may opt to choose other alternatives. One alternative is to fid a lawyer or a paralegal to do these name changes for you. A cheaper option would be to take advantage of change of name kits.
Change of name kits contain a number of items, including forms necessary to change your legal and government documents, financial statements, medical records, and personal documents. These kits also typically include a checklist to make sure that you accomplish all the necessary steps.
Change of name kits are available in selected bookstores and on the Internet. Some change of name kits are specifically created for brides, while other kits can be used by other individuals, such as for parents who are adopting a child. When choosing a change of name kit, make sure you select one that is made specifically for your state. Also, some documents have to be revised manually, such as car insurance or deeds to land; make sure you take note of these documents and have them revised as well.
