How did you or will you register your name-change?

Anyone ever try the site www.MissNowMrs.com? It's supposed to be fast and easy when submitting your name change to businesses, the IRS, Social Security, etc. It completes the forms for you and then when you print them out, you mail them in to the respected addresses with the fees each business requests. Sounds simple...!!



Anyone else do it or plan on doing it a different way?



Thank you!!How did you or will you register your name-change?
I would not recommend doing that. The social security office has to see a certified copy of your marriage license. I simply took my marriage license along with birth certificate and divorce papers from my first marriage to to social security office myself, and it took about 10 minutes. After the social security office I went to the DMV and had a new drivers license made. After these two things are done everything else pretty much falls into place. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!!!!!How did you or will you register your name-change?
I think to would be cheaper to do it yourself, most places don't charge you a fee to change your name with them
DO NOT USE ANY WEBSITE TO CHANGE YOUR NAME! Take your marriage certificate and birth certificate and or SS card to the SS office and they'll help you ... the whole process takes about ten minutes at most. The IRS is then informed of your name change when you file your first tax return. Anything else, you simply 'tell people' your name has changed. There are NO FORMS except an extremely simple one to fill out for the SS name change, and that should be done at the SS office and nowhere else. NEVER EVER put your SS number onto the Internet ... It is far too precious a number and the Internet is NOT a place it should go, even a 'totally secure site.'
Do not give your social security number to any website! Even if the business is honest, you don't know how secure their computer system is. Avoid identity theft by keeping your ss# close to the vest.



Also, IMO unless you're Oprah, it's ridiculous to give someone a fee to do this when it's easy to do yourself.
go to your SS office
DO NOT GIVE THAT KIND OF INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND IRS INFO, OUT ON SOME SITE! You cannot do all of the name-change stuff by mail, I don't care what they say! You have to go to the DMV and Social Security office in person, your bank and most of your utilities want to see your marriage certificate in person, too. Especially in this age of identity theft. Here's a what-to-do link;

Here's a link to a free name-change kit, though you REALLY don't need it. It doesn't take long to fill out the paperwork in the offices, and then you know it's the right paperwork;

I believe that the IRS is taken care of by changing your name on your Social Security card, but you can always check.

Some things, like grocery store and movie rental cards, can be done by phone. Most of my utilities, including cable, required a personal visit. Sprint let me do it by phone, as did a job-search website. My college transcripts required an in-person visit, as did my business license.
