Name change-freaking out
 

Ok- I trust DP, I trust FP. I think I trust Orange County-

But when I signed my marriage license/certificate- I signed with my last name (maiden name) because I was told to. I did not sign with my new last name.

Now I am freaking out that I did it wrong- that I should have signed it wth my new name. I am worried that now I will have trouble getting my new SSN card and license.

So I am freaking out now-

Reassurance anyone? Advice?

Seriously concerned :(

Signing with your maiden name was the correct thing to do.

Wish I knew more about it, but am glad that I'll know what's up after this.

Sorry I can't help you more... :(

But when I go to change my name here the DMV wants something showing the name "change"- does the marriage cert do that?

Then the SSN office wants proof of old and new name- which means I have to do the license first.

I am trying to get some confirmation from the CO DMV and hitting hold times and idiots.

When I got married and moved at the same time, the DMV just wanted a certified copy of my marriage license, which had my maiden name on it. I don't remember what SS wanted.

I just used my marriage license at SS, then the SS change for DMV. And since the SS lady wasn't all that quick - I did mine before we got married, they didn't notice that the copy wasn't certified yet.

You're screwed.

Thanks

I just want to get it done- going to the DMV after work.

I just didn't change my name.
