Congratulations !!!!!!! Yes the usual bills need to be changed
If you've changed your name, just about everything should be changed! I got married in May 2012 and I'm still coming across things I haven't done.
The main things are driving licence, mortgage, insurances and bank accounts. I haven't done my passport as you have to pay full price for a new one and mine still has 3 years to go, I just make sure I book my holiday tickets under my maiden name so it matches the passport.
I made sure I carried a copy of my marriage certificate with me all the time, just in case I needed to show it. Some places won't accept a copy but as a temporary measure, it's usually ok.
It's a long process but got to be done unfortunately!
Passport
Name at doctors, dentist, vets etc
Credit cards/Debit card
Driving License
Email Address
Mortgage
Gas/Electric/Telephone/Internet/TV Bills
Work Pass if you have one
Professional body or union if you belong to them
Oh hello my lovely, lovely friend Devon Dumpling..............I have missed you such a lot.
Congratulations, Mrs. D.D now !!!
I was in Cornwall 4 times last year and will be again this year. We will have that drink together,
lots of love and hugs xxxxx
I got married 4 weeks ago and so far have changed dvla, bank, credit card, car log book, dentist, opiticians, gas, water, council tax, vets and doctors! The list seems never ending. Most places are neeeding to see the orginal copy of marriage certificate so ive just ordered a 2nd copy in case I need to send it off anywhere else, then I can have 2 things sent off at the ssme time! Congratulations x
Ahhh lovely Sue, I have missed you too! You're on, drink in Cornwall sounds fab! Going to head over to your diary for a proper catch up xxxQuote:

I wonder how different the world would be if it was the man who had to change his name.....
I'm no feminist but I just wonder :)
Congratulations
I haven't changed my passport - no way am I paying for it as the same rate as a new one, they can sod of the robbing b*****ds!
I had to change my passport as I work in hospitals and have regular crb (criminal record) checks. If your documents don't match it causes all sorts of problems then... Same for my mate that works with kids. It's a pain.
Jeez I bet that hurt. This is polietical but CRB's don't always work as we have seen in the past!Quote:

I've been married three years and I've still not changed my passport, my PayPal account still has the wrong name and my mobile phone company have the wrong name too (despite me sending them a copy of the change of name stat dec three times they've still not managed it!). It's harder than it looks to get them done sometimes lol ;)
From my experience PayPal wouldn't change my name unless I faxed them passport, certificates etc and it felt a bit weird faxing all that to some unknown abroad so I just closed my paypal and opened new one in my new name!
