Free Name Change Kit for Brides

 
 

 

 

Welcome to Bride Kit!  This is a completely free kit designed to help brides change their names and update their records in accordance with their new name, marital status, and other details.

Introduction

It's important to know that no name change "service" or packet of forms can accomplish your name change for you (despite some advertising claims). Almost all records will warrant your personal attention and many are changed in person*.

As you update your records you will be changing many other important details besides your name, and during this process you may need to contact some of the businesses and organizations you deal with to find out what notification methods they accept (don't worry, this is explained in the next section).

This will be a lot easier if you know what to expect and stay organized. The kit walks you through changing different types of records and offers helpful tips along the way.

 * Appearing in person is used for Social Security, drivers license, motor vehicle, bank account, employment, and school records.
