Legal name changes!
Hey, guys. So this past Monday I went to court and got my name changed.
Cool, right? Well, now I am going through all of the places/companies/etc. I need to contact to get my name changed in their system. It is a never ending list! There are places you would never think of...like my civic association. Do I even know how to get a hold of them? No, I just put my $25 in an envelope they stick in my door once a year. I never looked at the address. Should I call my local auto parts store so that when I go to use my bonus points it is under the right name? Not that I minded my birth name much, but I know I am going to run into it over and over again in the next 10 years. Coming out is never ending, isn't it? Monday I was excited. Now I feel swamped with all there is to do. So, tell us your name change stories here in this thread. It can be about the excitement of the change, or the annoyances that have come along with it!

Congrats!! I don't remember how I did everything, but I spent two days labelling envelopes and stuffing them with "the letter" and copies of the name change - the only one that didn't change easily was my last College Alumni Association. That took a phone call. They didn't have as many frequent shopper cards and things then.

Do you know if I can get my college degrees reprinted with the correct name?

I've never actually needed my degrees - but they changed my transcripts readily. I never had to go anywhere in person -

Yes, with a fee. With transcripts they do an amendment. Congrats and good luck tomorrow!

Good to know about the degrees. In my line of work there is an expectation that the degree(s) be hanging in your office. I will add that to the list!

Neither of my transcripts (one Texas, one Massachusetts) are amended. They actually changed the name. Obviously, it's up to the institution. Also, this was 13 years ago -

I went around to some places to update my name, including the bank. I am looking forward to getting credit cards with my new name! I can then stop worrying about always having cash on me to pay for things.
I can't believe how long some guys wait to get their name changed. I know one guy, with some serious facial hair, who finally got around to changing his name. He's been on T for 3-4 years.

Other than that I bet you get 90% done in a month, 98% within the year. It'll just be weird little things after that. I hadn't thought of degrees though, guess I'm glad I went to college later in life. |

My new birth certificate arrived in the mail today, another item to cross of my list. I'm pretty excited that I will now be able to get a passport.

That's great buddy, congrats! I am assuming that CA is one of the states that gives you a "new" birth certificate and not just an amended one?

Thanks Dapper! I think California does, I was born in Washington, and I have a new birth certificate.

I made a list of all the agencies, utilities, memberships, etc. and checked off as I went. Some stuff I forgot about and was reminded when I received mail. For stocks, I had to fill out a form to transfer from myself back to myself (old name to new).
I do like the ease with which I can separate the junk mail now.

Dapper, I have been living in the flat I'm in for over 6 years now. I noted that mail for people that didn't live here was being sent to this address, so I notified the senders. Not one - not one single one - took any notice, not advertising agencies, not officialdom, nada.
Weirdest of all is Virgin Media - they started sending advertising to the house to the occupier of flat 6 - there is no flat 6, there's just 5 flats here. So I wrote them, and for three months, no more advertising for flat 6. Then it started again. I give up. It annoys me when I think of all the paper wasted on junk mail though. |

So I am gathering up all the stuff I need for name change and making lists of all the places; the previous posts are real helpful... definite need my bestbuy points.
Now I was born in New Jersey so to change name is easy all I need is the court order, but then I notice the requirements for changing gender from F to M. I need a form signed by a physician verifying I have had reassignment surgery...not sure what to do but I’m gonna talk to my docs and surgeons and get some forms signed then stroll over to Trenton and turn it in; figure after the person says. “Can I help u sir” there shouldn’t be any questions. Anyone born in nj deal with this?
