Name & Address Change Checklist
...."cover all the bases"

« Back to Timelines

Once you are married, your work is not yet finished. In addition to getting out your Thank You Notes, you will also need to take care of some personal recordkeeping if you are Changing Your Name, Changing Your Address, or both.

Devote an afternoon to getting this not-so-fun task completed all at once - like pulling off that bandaid. Be sure to use our Name & Address Change Checklist for this task as there are so many entities where your name and address are used that it would be very easy to overlook them.

Keep copies of all of the receipts you receive or forms you complete for these tasks. As well as the contact information for the entities you contacted. Why? Because about 10% of these will not successfully complete the changes you have requested the first time. Planning for a re-do will do a lot to lessen your frustration when submitting your information a second time!  -Central Coast Bride
