Marriage - Name Change - Social Security Cards - Driver's License?

This is not a question.....

Attention all you wives to be:

The rules have changed........

After you have a certified copy of your marriage license; go to your local social security office......fill out the paperwork (take your drivers license and a birth certificate)...it takes 48 hours to get your name changed in the system.

WAIT - 48 hours before you go to the license branch to change your drivers license. The BMV has to verify your social security number these days and it takes 48 hours from the time you submit your paperwork to the social security office.

BMV - AFTER you have waited 48 hours from the time you had gone to the social security office; take your social security letter of name change application, take your birth certificate; obviously, your current driver's license, AND find letters that were addressed to you at your new address

hope this makes sense; hope it helps someone......congrats

Thanx I found this to be very helpful.

Does this vary by state? I recently did this and changed my SS and DL on the same day. You don't need a SS card to change your name on your driver's license. Just birth certificate and marriage license. I'm in CA.

Im in TN and just got my name changed on my license like a week ago. All I needed was my marriage license, and my birth certificate....

EDIT:The Mrs....(post below me)--why is your source REAL married wife?!? Are others of us not REAL married wives?

Your info is all wrong.
