I just offically changed my name

Whenever we meet up our husbands will have fun comparing notes...lol

Congrats Jen!!!! Sorry it was a pain, but it's so exciting too!

Jen- Have you started to fill out forms in your maiden name yet and then cross it off and put your married name? I'm struggling HARD core and it's been a few months. Plus my signature isn't cool yet. I should have started practicing it earlier.

Hey Jen did you have to go to Supreme or Civil court? I am there literally everyday and the only saving grace is that I have an attorney pass so I never have to wait on the security lines to go through the metal detectors and there are usually attorney lines when you go in offices.

I am so confused. Either that or I'm just stupid. I thought all you had to do was change your name with the social security department. Why did you have to go to court to change your name? I always thought you had to go to court to change your name if you got divorced and you needed to show them the divorce decree or something.

Btw Queens is heaven compared to the Bronx. You should see the lines there, it is insane! And trust me Brooklyn is second worst after that. Queens is considered the "civilized" borough. LOl.

I'm going to pick up a my marriage license in the Kew Gardens court. Not looking forward to those lines at all!

OMG! I still have to do this too ... but don't have time during a regular work day. I had to get a replacement SS card before getting my new Passport, and THAT was a pain, so I know this whole name change crap is REALLY going to suck. I might keep my maiden name as a second middle name too ... I'm not sure. I hate to lose it after having had it for 34 years!

Uggh for some reason I thought you could mail the paperwork in. Your telling me I'm going to have to go to the social security place in Jamaica? That place is a nightmare! Ugggh!

Yay! A big step done.

I want to change mine so bad, and Matt keeps calling my answering machine to see if I changed it yet. But he misplaced the marriage certificate that the minister handed him like in the ceremony and we won't get another for like 10 weeks or some shit. I can't change naything until I do SSN and I can't do SSN w/o the marriage certificate! Ugh. So yay for you! Cuz I want mine done already.
