fl brides changing your name!

Hannah, on January 15, 2021 at 7:58 PM Posted in Married Life 0 8
I was advised to buy 8 certified copies of my marriage license to use to change my name - don’t waste your money! I still have all 8 copies. The Social security office, the DMV and the bank have all given me back the page and it takes so long with all the government closures to have appointments back-to-back so I doubt I’ll never need the extra copies. It cost $30 I believe and I’d really like to have that money back and just use the single copy I first received. $20K+ wedding and that is the only money I regret spending.

    The woman on the phone at the county advised 8. She said you need to send it to so many places, didn’t mention they give it back! Probably the government wanting more money to justify their time. I feel cheated

    They recommended the same thing in Alabama - I got 2 (because there were recommendations on here at that time that mentioned you didn't need that many copies) and I still have both. Most places I didn't even have to send mine!

    Who told you you need 8 copies?!?! I have like 3 copies and I’ve never needed more than 2 of them. I think I needed one for the SSA but that I think was it. I don’t think I needed another certified copy that they couldn’t just make a copy of it.

    I am a FL bride and going through the process...mostly because they ended up spelling my first name wrong on my new SS card -_-. It is a pain. I just got three luckily but sorry you are going through it.
