Seriously, what’s in a name? I make bank transfers (even thru mobile device), use my credit card, file my taxes, look at my credit report and more online but I can’t change my name!
Let me clarify that I am a traditionalist and would like to have my husbands last name (sort of :-). Though, I am going to miss using the term “Holy Flower” (Saint-Fleur). That piece of paper we proudly received making it official wasn’t fully the whole deal. Unfortunately, getting my new name on the marriage license isn’t enough.
The process:
- Original Marriage License
- Social Security Office
- DMV
- Bank
After making those trips above:
- Credit Cards
- Voter Registration
- Passport (keeping my old one 🙂
- Post Office
- Insurance and more!
This is how far my name change has made it:
In my mind
Family & Friends:
on my door at work:
oh, and Social Networks:
Whether I change to Makerbie Rema or Makerbie St.Fleur-Rema, point is that I wish I didn’t have to make trips to certain offices to make it official. With that said, I have no choice…sigh!
