Has anyone used Hitch Switch to change their name?

From what I know these companies, just send you all the documents you need with preaddressed/stamped envelopes to do you name change.

Almost all the documents they're sending you are free online.

If you're the type of person who needs help with organization/research I suppose it could be worth the money, to just have the forms sent to you to fill out and send back out.

I personally just found a list of everything I needed to change my name on and made a spreadsheet with documents needed and mailing addresses/if I had to go in person so when the time comes I can just check it off the self made spreadsheet.

View Quoted Comment Ok thanks, I printed a checklist myself. Was just wondering if it was easier to go through a company.

Do a search, as this question has been asked before. There are 3 forms that you need to fill out to change your name: social security, passport, and drivers license. All of these forms are available for free. All these services do is give you a checklist and the forms (which are all only like 1-2 pages long). They are not worth the money.

Thank you for asking about this! I was wondering the same thing.

View Quoted Comment Thanks, I was just scared to mail in forms with all of my information on it. Because of covid the social security office isn't taking appointments. I guess I'll send it in and see what happens.

View Quoted Comment Covid has everything messed up here in Illinois. Can't make an appointment at the social security office. I'm going to try mailing my information in and see what happens. Hope you have better luck.

View Quoted Comment You still have to mail all the same things with Hitchswitch. All they do is get you the forms and pre-addressed envelopes.
