I’m dreading doing all the name change stuff 😩 plz tell me it goes pretty smoothly 🙏🏼
I need a new license & SS card. I guess I also need to notify my bank? What else am I not thinking of?
@kel_cee_xo
you have to change your SS card first & then your license, & then you can change everything else. changing your license is the hardest part, at least for me, bc it was the only part you had to do in person & you had to wait until your SS card came in which took months (covid) but…
@kel_cee_xo
Honestly the legal part isn't that hard. It's coming across everything you've ever signed up for with your maiden name and having to change it that's annoying lol if you fly often change it on whatever app you use too because sometimes they take a minute to update
@kel_cee_xo
SS first, I got mine within 2 weeks. I was able to use my marriage certificate to change my license (I’m in CA, idk if this varies by state) I also had to change bank, credit cards, phone bill, car registration, insurance, work/pay stubs, health insurance, utilities if applicable
@mrsperlaaaa
Yes I do have to do my insurance too! It’ll be nice to finally be able to all be on one and save 200$ a check lol hopefully that isn’t too difficult to change because we work for the same company. I guess have to wait for my new SS first before I can do that too tho?
@kel_cee_xo
Omg after 3 years I finally did mine this year! Social security office first, get all paperwork from them go to the DPS and get license changed, after that contact your bank. Most banks will tell you to wait until the new DL and SSC come in too because they need pictures.
@FawkesOrigin
Thank you! Hopefully the SS card doesn’t take too long so I can get all of this other stuff rolling! I wonder if it’ll be faster to take it into the SS office instead of mailing it off to them? So maybe it’ll get processed faster? I don’t trust the mail stream lol
