Fot this you need to go to court and have a hearing as to why you want your name changed. If your reason is good, without some kind of criminal intent, or to get away from crediters, the judge will order the name change.\n\nI suggest checking with an attorney or legal aid for advice on the matter.

Yes. Bring your photo ID, voter registration card, and proof of name change (marriage certificate) and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Take a copy of your marriage license and then:\n1st- go to your local DMV & change your ID/DL\n2nd- Go to your local SS office and change you SS card\n3rd- Contact or update all your mail (bills,bank records, credit cards, insurance cards) to update your last name.\n\n**Not sure why I took every possible piece of identification to the SS office first and they did not change it for me. They told me to go to the DMV first THEN come back to them. I never understood that.**

You can go to the Clerk of Court and give them the names - they will be able to give you a copy (for a fee of course)

People change their names all the time - it is not at all unusual.\n\nYou may not do so in order to commit fraud or to evade an obligation - otherwise, the only restraints are the judge's willingness to grant your request.\n\nYou are probably best off with a lawyer who handles "family law." You can find one online by visiting the free lawyer-locater at   martindale.com, click on your city, click on "family law", and start calling lawyers. It is perfectly okay to ask the lawyer up front what her charge is and what the court fees would be.\n\nGood luck

If you have done nothing official to change your name from what you have been given since birth, then that's your legal name.  Marriage does not automatically change your name.  When you marry, you have to notify Social Security or the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, for instance, that you wish to change your name.  I did so when I married my first husband.  When I divorced him and remarried, I did not choose to change my name to that of my second husband, so I did nothing.  Therefore, my current legal name is the name I took when I married my first husband.

I think you have to go through the Courts to get a proof (paperwork) that your name is different from your birth certificate and you wanting to get a driver's license through Dmv with your new name.  You'll have to check Nevada's Court online website.  You might find it in the same category as Marriage.  That's where I found all kind of info regarding changing names and etc .. here in Cali..

You have to fill up a form and apply for a different social security card. Bring with your your documents - such as proof of change of name (i.e. marriage certificate, legal name change), your old social security card, and any other requirements listed on the form. I believe you can print it off the internet. Go to www.socialsecurity.gov. You'll find more information there that you need to know for your application.\n\nGoodluck!

yes one can change the name whenever want to...just have to file papers and pay a fee..along with changing all your other documents...social security card...drivers licsense and such... but in all honesty...when you love someone and get married ...that is supposed to be the grandest show of love there is...by taking your husbands name.  so dont be too upset if he disagrees with you on this... \n\nhell alot of us dont like our given names... but they were given to us for a reason...generation names...era names whatever....think of the poor souls that walk around like Dick Peters...or Buford or other odd names...but these people carry them ..why ...cuz they were chosen out of love.\n\nhope you make the right choice for you ...good luck

Not that I'm aware of.  I know a couple of states are starting to allow a "court-less" name change back to madien in divorce cases, but it's not standard across states.  \n\nYou can't change your SS card until the state recognizes your new name.  One way to try is to goto the DMV and ask if you can go back to your maiden name, if they say yes they'll change it and then you can goto SS.  If they say you need a court document then you'll know you have to goto court.  This is the best (and free!) way to find out.

I changed my name to maiden-married when he started divorce procedings... it didn't occur to me until I was served paperwork with my name appearing like that in them.\n\nIt made sense becuase I still wanted to have my kids name as well as distancing myself from my ex.\n\nI found out that ex did that on purpose to try and force me into a name change.. well.. it worked. =P\n\nADD COMMENT:\n\nIt's NOT to late.... visit the social security website or call them for details.  It's the first step to changing it.  You will need ID and your divorce decree.  http://ssa.gov/gethelp1.htm
