Some of the places listed below (such as the Social Security
Administration) will insist on seeing documentation. Others will not. Some will just need
a phone call, while others will need to see you in person or get it in writing.
Documentation helps with your transition between names, so the more documentation you get,
the easier the subsequent changes will be.
We suggest you alert the following places of your name change:
Social Security Administration and your employer. This will assure
that your earnings will be properly reported by your employer and recorded in our records.
