Name change process website?

Hi Ladies,

Well it's been well over a year since we got married, and I am just now getting around to changing my last name... Does anyone have a good free website recommendation with instructions/forms to go through the process?  Google gives me way too many options, and obviously I want to make sure this is accurate, legal (and as easy as possible).

Thank you!

There's an article on thenest.com to help. It's under 'Newlywed Central'. Good place to start. Use their list and write down your own additions as you think of them.

I basically started with my social security card, then drivers license (and car and voter registration) then bank account and paycheck, and now I'm going through all my bills (credit cards, loans, utilities, etc). I figure I'll get all the things I deal with on a monthly basis within the next few months, but the things I don't even think about - like store loyalty programs and magazine subscriptions - will probably just have to wait until I'm reminded while using them. I'm kind of playing it by ear. 

I don't know of any websites that actually do it for you, if that's what you're looking for, and I don't think I would trust them. I kind of like the old fashioned way of going into a building and showing an ID, however most things like credit cards, loans and utilities, let you change it online if you pay your bills that way.

....a lot of things like credit card companies,banks, dmv, etc. require a letter and a copy of your marriage certificate...what you'll totally realize after awhile, is all the little things you'll forget to change--like Airline Mileage Numbers, Hotel Rewards points...i'm still finding things i forgot to change, and i changed my name 2.5 years ago! it's kind of a nightmare! good luck!
