Name and signature change

I'm sure after you legally change it, you can just sign it by taking pen to a paper?

I mean, it's still (almost 5 months later) odd for me to sign my new name, but I'm getting used to it

What about on SSN and passport, do you have to sign differently? Or is it sufficient to just change your name and then start signing with your name and new surname ?

You just have to write your new name after you get it changed. Just keep track of what you have changed so far and what you haven't sense it can be a long process and make sure you write the right name in the right places.

That's what I was asking, when applying for a name change in SSN, do I sign with the new signature? Was just making sure.

I believe it's the same signature you sign with at the SS office, but I could be wrong. I am not married yet so maybe one of the already married users on here can answer that.

What do you mean by "get your signature changed"? You would just sign whatever documents with your new name, it's not like something you go to a store to "get"...

I changed my name, my signature has remained the same. It's completely unreadable, anyway.

Thankfully for me G to S in capital cursive is somewhat similar. I'll be honest though, I sometimes stumble when I sign things I feel like an idiot. I'm fairly certain my signature on my license has changed drastically compared to what I scribble now.

I'm pretty sure I signed using the new name at the SS office and anywhere else I changed it. If I had to sign something that had not been changed yet (i.e credit card receipts), I signed using my maiden name until the change occurred.

When you get to the SS office just ask them maiden or new at the various signatures. Its super easy I promise.

When I applied for a new SS card, I asked the person working there whether I should sign (the application) with my maiden name or my new married name. Just ask if you're not sure. It is literally their job to answer these questions.

If your signature has always been an illegible squiggly line, I'd say you can keep your signature as is. If it reads as your maiden name, you will want to begin writing your married name to match your documents. It is the act of using the new signature that makes it your own. It like your marriage will evolve over time
