hi, everyone-

now that my husband is safely in the states with me, i want to change all my legal documents so they reflect my new name. i know the first step is to change my social security card, and i plan to do my passport next since it expires in january, but is there anything else i need to keep in mind, or is there any particular order i need to make the changes so i don't mess everything up? or is changing everything at once even a good idea? should i just do it incrementally as things expire?

any advice would be welcome.

thanks!

Your social security, Drivers license, your job and any bank accounts, medical info. all that. You should take care of social security and your DL first. Usually your bank institution will want to see the drivers license and SSN already changed along with the marriage certificate. Hurry to change your passport, because if you do it within the same year you got it, there is no additional fee....hopefully this helps!
