After the wedding
The Name Change & Social Security Kit
Social Security first. Then everything else, in order.
Almost everyone starts a name change in the wrong place. Social Security has to be updated first — the DMV, passport agency, and your bank all verify against SSA records, so doing them first means doing them twice. This kit puts the whole sequence on paper.

What's inside
- The Social Security update walked through first: Form SS-5, accepted proof documents, and mail vs. in-person
- Why the SSA-to-DMV waiting period exists and how long to actually wait
- A sequenced 16-institution checklist so nothing has to be redone
- State-specific DMV and voter registration requirements for all 50 states
- Passport update paths (DS-82 vs. DS-5504 vs. DS-11) and which applies to you
- Employer, bank, insurance, and utility notification templates
- A wall-mounted progress tracker so you can see what is left
Who it's for: Anyone changing their name after a marriage or divorce.
