Changing your name

Suzanne, on October 5, 2020 at 5:44 AM Posted in Married Life 0 8
Has anyone tried the online services like hitch switch to help change your last name? Is it worth it or should I just do all the paperwork myself?

    I haven't tried it but several other women on this platform have said it's a waste of money because one still has to do the majority of the paperwork.

    Great thank you. That’s what I was thinking.

    You're welcome. I plan on not changing my name at all. So, It's one less thing for me to worry about.

    When I changed my name, there were exactly 3 forms to fill out: SS, passport, and DMV. Everywhere else was fine with just a scanned copy of my marriage certificate and new driver's license in an email. Hitchswitch will charge you for the privilege of mailing you the free forms that they've pre-entered basic information on (name, address) and some envelopes. I really don't see it as worth the money. They also send you a list of all the places people typically need to change their names I believe, but you can also find similar lists online, for free.

    Great. Thank you so much. I definitely didn’t think it would be work the price but wanted to make sure.

    Huge waste of money. Why pay someone else to send you forms that you can get for free online?

    Haha yup. Agree. Wasn’t sure if there was something else in the package to make it worth the money.

    I used Hitchswitch and I thought it was great. I put a Hitchswitch giftcard on our registry and someone gifted it to me. I thought it made the whole process super easy because I just didn't feel like hassling with the paperwork myself.
