If you are keeping your own surname, there is nothing further you need to do after marriage. As mentioned earlier, if you are taking your partner's name, you do not need to change your name by deedpoll, only contact the relevant authorities with your marriage certificate.
Change your legal name Once the judge decides, you pick up a court decree (court order) with your new name. The process generally takes up to 3 months.
Your marriage license doesn't expire, so there is no deadline for a name change after marriage. You don't have a time limit that you must adhere to in order to change your name after marriage. In fact, many spouses and newly married couples may choose to wait to “see what happens” after they get married.
Make an Affidavit Create an affidavit with your details stating that you wish to change your name now that you are married. The affidavit will also require details like your maiden name, proposed new name, husband's name, your address and sometimes a copy of your Marriage Certificate.
Electronic filing (e-Filing) for unlimited, limited, complex civil, unlawful detainers and small claims cases will start as optional with the anticipation of e-Filing being mandated for attorneys and represented parties effective September 1, 2021, unless there is an exemption.
