Thank you for posting this!

Thanks EdubbsW! I was just thinking I need to start the project and was ready to give up LOL!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm confused why pay to have these services done? Is it the convenience of one stop shopping?

When you can download the forms from any government site and mail them in yourself. I do know when you go to get your new DL all you need is your BC and a copy of your ML. Just went with a GF last weekend.

I guess I'm still confused if I need to go to Soc Sec or not Boooooo!

@Mek, it is a lot easier to answer questions and have forms populated than finding them all and doing all the legwork yourself. Depending on how much of a paper trail you have, its harder than getting a Soc. Sec. Card and drivers license to change your name. The sites listed things I didn't even think about like professional associations, my church, etc.

Mrs. S start at Soc. Sec then go to Drivers license - I had to wait a day for the system to update - then start the letter writing/notification of everything and everybody else.

I wouldn't pay for this honestly; start with SS an then your Drivers license; change everything else as it comes in. It's not that much easier to use a clearing house, and it's not worth the money.

I did everything on my own. Was it a hassle? Yes. But was it worth it to me? Absoluetely. I just could not justify paying for something I could do myself. Especially since there is no time limit for most things. Technically you legally have 2 identities. Even Soc Sec and the MVD told me this.

Are there any free sites that just have like a checklist or something so you don't forget things?

The first one I listed is free - sorry I forgot to say that explicitly. I revised the post to reflect that. That was the point, that you do not have to pay for this. While some of the ones you pay for make it easy, there are alternatives.

For those of you looking for free try the first link: http://www.bridekit.com/ Very helpful. Very helpful.

I thought you originally said it was free :-) And yes, it is helpful so thanks once again!

I did my ssc, id, and bank stuff but I have been doing everything else as it comes
