Hello, everyone!

I hope that everyone is being safe out there during this pandemic!

My new husband and I got married March 14, 2020, and I had always planned to go ahead and start with the process of name changing. However, due to the circumstances, all federal & state offices are closed (to the public, at least).

My question is, really, would it be okay to go ahead and send in documents to the SSA?

OR just wait until this all blows over?

Thank you for your input!

    I'm in VA but I imagine it should be the same. I'll try it. If anything, they'll just call me and say I need another document for identity. Thanks!

    I sent in my passport & marriage license. (I figured I might need my DL if I got pulled over) I got my original documents back in 4 days, and got my new Social Security card within a few days of that! I live in East Texas.

    Do you send mail by usps or FedEx? I'm worried my passport and other original documents will be lost in mail. Also did they contact you once the documents were received?

    I sent mine by mail. I had no problems. But I'd rather stab myself repeatedly than deal with FedEx.
