May 15 2021 bride here. I called Social Security to do name change was informed that by Federal Law ALL the local offices are closed until further notice since march of last year meaning anyone who has gotten married cannot change their name They stated the only way to change your name legally is by mail and they want ORIGINAL documents marriage license and SS CARD. I will not mail originals of anything. Its unfortunate because nothing can be changed until you SS is done FIRST. I guess I will be waiting.

    You should order a few from vital records to keep on hand - it helps to have them ready when you need them.

    I recently sent all my original documents in for my name change. I got it all back in one envelope. It took about a week. We only had one certified copy of our marriage license too.

    I got 5 certified copies of our marriage certificate. I knew I would need to have a few. Get a few more certified copies to have on hand. Also I didn't have to mail my license. I just sent them marriage license. The 800 number I really dislike talking with them because what they say you need is more than what I needed to send. Talk with your local office. I had to change my son's name and they sent me back my certified copy of his name change.

    If you want to wait then wait. We don't know how long they will keep offices closed. I didn't want to wait because of my job and I waited almost 7 years to have my hubbys last name. Lol.
