Has anyone used an online service to change their name?


Recommended Posts

Hey ladies (and some gentleman),

  

   My fiance and I got legally married in CA in May. Our destination wedding is in 3 weeks in Mexico. I didn't go through the process of changing my name yet just in case the process took too long.

   So I think I have all the info on how to go about changing my name and all the offices I have to go to with the appropriate paperwork. However, I came across a website like this that claims to take care of everything:

Has anyone done anything like this? Is it legit? Is it a scam? Am I better off just going in person?

 

Thanks!!

I would just do it yourself if I were you. I am in the process right now and it really isnt that difficult. I would be reluctant to give the website all of the personal information required to change your name. I found a website on The Knot that lists out the steps and I thought that was pretty helpful. http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/planning-a-wedding/articles/name-change-101.aspx

 

I wouldnt change your name though until you get back from your wedding and/or honeymoon. Your passport can take a couple of weeks to months to get back. I started with getting my SS card switched which took about 2.5 weeks, and I am actually headed to the DMV to get my new id/license. I'm sending in all my passport info on Monday, and once I get my id mailed to me from the DMV, Ill start changing all of my bank accounts over.

I agree, I would just change it yourself.  It really isn't hard to change your name just a bit time consuming to go everywhere and get it changed.  In Alberta, the first thing I had to change was my drivers license.  After that is changed I was able to change everything else from passport, SIN card and bank accounts.  Some of the places I don't go to often such as Drs office and Dentist office I decided I would just change the next time I was there rather then make a special trip just to change my name.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
