My husband I live in New York but we got married in Vermont where they do not give you the opportunity to put your new name on the marriage certificate. I am now trying to change my name in New York and it is so confusing.
Both SS and the DMV seem to require documents showing old name (easy to provide) and new name (not so easy since it's not on my marriage license). Has anyone been through this? Do you know if my marriage license will be enough "proof" of new name since it shows my husband's last name?
To add a layer of complexity, my passport is expired (it expired two months before my wedding and I didn't notice until too late), so will getting a new passport once I've changed my name be difficult?
Any help/advice from NY residents is appreciated! Thank you!!
