The Name Change Notification Package is designed for individuals who have changed their name due to marriage, divorce, or a court order. This package includes a comprehensive set of forms and instructions that facilitate the notification process to relevant government agencies and organizations, ensuring that your name change is officially recognized across various records such as your Social Security card, driver's license, passport, and financial institutions. Unlike standalone forms, this package provides a coordinated approach to handle all aspects of a name change.
This form package should be used whenever an individual changes their name. Common scenarios include changing your last name after marriage, reverting to a maiden name following a divorce, or formally updating your name through a court order.
