Get Married Magazine Editor endorses MissNowMrs.com!

We recently received our Spring 2010 copy of Get Married magazine and were elated to see that Stephanie Davis Smith, Editor of the magazine used our service and loved it! She called MissNowMrs a “Life saver” in her Editor’s Note and said, “Someone gave me a gift card to this incredible service called MissNowMrs. You sign up and they take care of all that messy paperwork, tracking down office hours, etc. when it comes time to change your name on your driver’s license, social security and other documents. Genius.” You can get your own copy of Get Married magazine via their website (it’s the perfect guide for savvy brides in need of creative wedding ideas)

New Year, New Year’s Resolution… New Married Name?!

Considering a new married name in the New Year? It seems that when the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Day everyone wants to come up with the best New Year’s Resolution, that works for you, and more importantly, one that you can stick to!

We’ve all heard the common resolution. Things like to lose weight, to be a better person, to pursue a hobby. And for some, to finally change to their new married name! Some women put off their married name change for a variety of reasons, but the number one seems to be that they aren’t quite sure how they feel about losing their maiden name.

Often times, women feel like they lose a sense of self identity by changing their name after marriage, or they are well-established in their careers and don’t want to start over under a new name. You may still keep your maiden name; you do have options! After a while (some times weeks, months, or even years), women decide that they would like to change to their spouse’s last name because of children, or some other reason.

So, here’s where the questions begin. Can you still use MissNowMrs to assist with your name change if it has been some time since you were married? Is it still legal? The answer to both of those questions is YES!

As long as you have a US Certified Marriage Certificate (to show legal proof of your marriage) you may change to your married name, and we at MissNowMrs.com are happy to assist you in doing so by providing you with a streamlined, simple solution to this process! Wait, you had a destination wedding; no problem! Even if you were married and have a Certified Marriage Certificate from outside of the US, you may still set up an account with MissNowMrs.com. You may be required to have your foreign Marriage Certificate authenticated and translated by your local court house (in order to use it as legal proof of marriage in the US) prior to filing for your name change. Please contact us with ANY questions regarding your name change, as we are always delighted to assist you!

Brides–Planning your Wedding, Have You Thought of This???

Planning your wedding this year? You would think that in the twentieth century, changing your name after marriage would be easier, but to most people it is an overwhelming process that can cause unnecessary stress! This is why it is important to know your resources! We at www.MissNowMrs.com have happily assisted in making brides-to-be and newlyweds a little less stressed and worry-free with our easy online nationwide name-change service! Here are some details for you below…

One of our prominent findings has been to recognize your options before it is time to change your name. Will you hyphenate, take your spouse’s last name, replace your middle name with your maiden name, or simply keep your maiden name? You should spend time prior to the wedding discussing these options with your fiancé to ensure that you come to a conclusion that makes both of you happy. Whatever decision you make, you should be sure to book your travel plans for the honeymoon under your maiden name because you most likely will not have enough time to change your name on your social security card, driver’s license, and passport before you depart!

Regardless of what state you reside in, you will benefit from requesting additional certified copies of your marriage certificate after your wedding, to use during the name-change process. Several state and U.S. government agencies require a certified copy of your marriage certificate as legal proof of your marriage before they will proceed with your name change.

Now, you are ready to begin the name-change process! There is a certain procedure required when submitting your State and U.S. Government name-change forms, luckily we have already taken the research out of the picture for you. We will also offer you our inside details and recommendations coming straight from the U.S. Government office personnel themselves!

Once you have changed all of your state and U.S. government documents, it is equally important to notify creditors of your name change. You may elect to make phone calls to each office or write a letter stating your previous name, new name, and that you are changing your name due to marriage. Some offices will require you to fill-out a name change request form or letter (along with a certified copy of your marriage certificate) before they will process your name change.

After planning a wedding the last thing you want to do is stress out about a name change! This is why we, at MissNowMrs.com offer you an online account for a one-stop-shop to provide you with a simplified transition, from Miss…to…Mrs.!
