I’m getting married and want to change my last name before I do so my wife can take my new last name instead of the one I have now or keep her own. Can I do that? Can we do that with our marriage license? Can you guys help with this?
Yes, you can do that.
You can’t do that, as far as I know, through the marriage license process. You can review this article with links to the laws about that: https://eznamechange.com/name-change-after-marriage-for-men-and-women/
The way to do it will be through a Superior Court Name Change case. We’ve done quite a few of them, just as you’re describing. We can even help with the timing of things because timing is quite an important part of getting married:) If you’d like us to help, with Full Service, let us know. You likely have your hands full with VERY important other things right now and we’ll be happy to smooth you through this Name Change part if you want.
Sorry for sending a message this late at night .. I just want to known what I need to change my son last name ? Or to see if I can set a appointment with you . So I can start the process on changing the name … please let me know what works better for you or would you be able to help me or not thank you so much
Hi Mary,
You just need a Court Order so that schools, social security, passport, etc. will respect the name change you want to do for your son. You can do it yourself, or you can have a service like EZ Name Change help you very inexpensively. A lot of court forms need to be correctly completed and filed in the right courthouse. If both parents are signing, then you just need to also arrange qualified legal notice newspaper publishing and get Proof of Publication to your judge. Then you go to a Hearing and get your Court Order, upon approval. You can read more about that process, the costs and time frames here: https://eznamechange.com/how-to-change-your-childs-last-name/
If you want to call, I can answer any other questions you may have or help you get started whenever you might be ready to get that done.
Hi. I’d like to set up an appointment to come in and change my last name to my husband’s. It needs to be after July 12 when we get back from Florida. I may want to switch my first and middle names too, can I do that at the same time?
Happy to have you come in Friday the 14th at 10am. Yes, you can make changes to your first and/or middle name at the same time with no extra costs.
Hi, My brother just turned 18 years old and he is looking to get his full name changed. I am trying to help him out but the whole process just seems so complicated. I was wondering how much you charged for your services and if you don’t mind me asking, how much the process of a name change would cost us in general? Thank you. Zip Code: 95828
