Name Change Kit?

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Name Change Kit ConfusionWe get lots of questions about name change and exactly what the MissNowMrs.com service is.  Many newlyweds wonder if we are a name change kit for brides? While we do help brides and newlyweds change their names on all of the necessary paperwork…the answer is below:

Short Answer: No, we are not a name change kit.

Long Answer: We are an online name change service.

What’s the difference? When you order a name change kit you spend precious newlywed time waiting for it to come in the mail, sorting through the multitude of forms you receive, writing in your information eight million times and then figuring out where/when/how to file each form from the paragraphs of legal mumbo jumbo instructions.  Not sounding too “convenient” is it?

The MissNowMrs.com service allows you to purchase an online name change account and immediately begin answering questions that will auto-complete the name change forms you specifically need to file in your state and situation.  You enter your maiden name and new married name ONCE and those names appear in the appropriate places on all of your name change forms. Say goodbye to writer’s cramp and white out!  Our service also provides easy filing instructions for each form, including a bullet pointed list of what needs to be filed with the form and insider tips on how to file by mail or miss the long office lines.  We’ve simplified the 13 hour hassle of married name change into 30 minutes!

Hopefully that clears up the difference between name change kits and name change services!  Please let us know if you have more questions in a comment.

New York Maiden to Middle Name Change

Monday, December 5th, 2011

New York Bride Maiden To Middle Name ChangeNewlywed in New York? State laws were not allowing brides to take their maiden names as their middle names, which caused all kinds of complications and many brides resorted to going through the lengthy and expensive legal name change process. Great news! MissNowMrs.com figured out a way to satisfy the New York points of identity requirements so you CAN change your maiden name to your middle name. Here’s the scoop:

To change your middle name to your maiden name based on marriage, you will need to file your name-change forms in a specific order. File your Social Security form and your U.S. Passport forms first. Next, wait to receive both of those new documents back in your new name. Then you can go to the New York DMV and file for your new driver’s license. Your Social Security card and U.S. Passport with your new name will serve as the required 6 points of identification…AND since they show your maiden names as your middle name, you won’t have any issues getting your new license to match.

Don’t forget that our easy online name-change service helps you complete all of your name-change forms in ~30 minutes…so you can go from Miss to Mrs. in a matter of minutes and focus on the fun of the holidays as a newlywed!

Married Name Change & MissNowMrs.com On the Today Show!

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Thumbs Up for Married Name ChangeAre you newlywed and trying to decide if you should change your name?  If so, you are not alone.  The Today show ran a segment yesterday completely devoted to the topic of married name change. Check out the segment (and a shout out to MissNowMrs.com at the 4:25 mark) here!

One of the  takeaways from the Today Show coverage is that the Wall Street Journal reported on a 35 year study that shows more women are deciding to take their spouse’s names. This is a change in the trend of 23% of women keeping their maiden names in the 1990s.  Another good observation was that women who marry when they are older and more established in a career are more likely to keep their names or hyphenate.

Debra Shigley, the author of The Go-Getter Girls Guide, was one of the experts being interviewed.  She mentioned that MissNowMrs.com was available to help simplify the transition from Miss to Mrs.  We love that she gave us a shout-out on national television!!!

Whatever name-change choice you decide works for you and your spouse is wonderful.  Let’s all be glad that we have choices in the matter! If you’re overwhelmed with the amount of paperwork & stress associated with married name change please check out MissNowMrs.com today and change your name the easy way!

Your Married Name: To Change or Not to Change!?

Friday, April 8th, 2011

Married Name Change or NotAlthough this is a difficult decision for some, and many women go back and forth on this, we can be thankful that changing your name after marriage is a choice! For some of us the answer is simple, while others will toy around with the idea for years! Some women choose to keep their maiden name for professional reasons, some feel as though by changing their name they’re losing a part of their identity, while for others, the decision relies heavily on family and traditions. Whatever the case may be, there are many factors that will affect your decision, and for many, that single most important factor is your spouse!

I already knew that I wanted to take my husband’s last name, but I also knew that he would’ve been offended if I didn’t. So for me the decision was simple, and friends from my younger years still refer to me by my maiden name, so I still get the best of both worlds!

We want you to share your decision-making story on your married name change with us! Did your spouse play a deciding role on your decision?  Or, tell us why you simply chose to keep your maiden name!
