October 21, 2009Brides- Have You thought about this part of your wedding planning?
Today, Many brides-to-be think that making a name change after marriage might be an easy process, but for many people it can be quite overwhelming. The people at www.MissNowMrs.com, assist brides-to-be and newlyweds in taking the stress out of changing from Miss to Mrs. with their online nationwide name-change service.
They help brides recognize their options before it is time to change their names. Brides have the option of hyphenating, taking their spouse’s last name, replacing their middle name with their maiden name, or simply keeping their maiden name? Brides and Grooms are advised to spend time prior to the wedding discussing these options to ensure they come to a compromise that makes them both happy. Whatever decision is made, brides are advised to book their travel plans for the honeymoon under their maiden name because they will most likely not have enough time to change their name on their social security card, drivers license, and passport before they depart!
Regardless of the state of residence, Brides can benefit from requesting additional certified copies of the marriage certificate after the wedding to be used during the name-change process. Several state and U.S. government agencies require a certified copy of the marriage certificate as legal proof of marriage before they will process the name change.
There is a required procedure when submitting State and U.S. Government name-change forms. MissNowMrs.com takes the research out of the picture for their clients. In addition, they offer inside details and recommendations coming straight from U.S. Government personnel!
Once all state and U.S. government documents have been changed, it is equally important to notify creditors of the name change. Bride may elect to make phone calls to each office or write a letter stating their previous name, new name, and that they are changing their name due to marriage. Some offices require brides to submit a name change request form or letter (along with a certified copy of your marriage certificate) before they will process the name change.
