Calgary & Area - Name Change List and Numbers!

[kerrij]

Hi hope I'm posting this in the right spot!

 

We'll I've been home for 4 days from my wedding and I have pretty much everything changed over to my new name! Just a few in person ones left to do like passport and SIN. I saved my list and even have most of the numbers and locations so I thought I'd share them with you Calgary girls, and I know there are a lot of you on here! Southern AB can prob use this too. Hope it helps! I'm sure there are little ones here and there yet to change, but I think these are the big ones!

Did you do a full legal name change too? Or just assume your new hubby's last name? I'm guessing the latter but thought I'd check since you mentioned changing it on my SIN card which I hadn't thought of!

 

Thanks so much for posting this!!

wow! what a great list - thank you!

Echo - I just assumed...I didn't want to change my birth certificate. I called to see if we had to change our SIN and they said yes we have to even if it's assumed.

 

Hope this helps! please add on if you think of more places where it should be changed

Did you just use the marriage certificate you signed on your wedding day? I know they gave me a copy of that one but I didn't think it was the legal certificate. Ive been waiting because they told me 3 month's to get one but if I can start now that would be awesome!
