We have been amrried over three years and it hasn't been an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name/page/2#post-482896 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 14:50:44 +0000 Boogs 482896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4+ years later and I've mostly done everything. Still need to do my Costco card lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name/page/2#post-482826 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:27:41 +0000 BoogieBea 482826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had changed everything except my passport at the time. It was expiring in a couple years anyway so I figured I'd wait. But then we moved out of the country and that made for a more difficult name changing process. Women in that country traditionally don't change their names after marriage so they had no name changing process at all. The whole name changing process made me wish I had just kept my name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482825 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:27:34 +0000 shopaholic 482825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I didn't change everything, like my old credit cards or student loans, etc. It's been 4 1/2 years and I still have things in both names. But I just changed my middle name to my maiden name, so it's never been an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482823 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:26:07 +0000 DigAPony 482823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed everything by about two months after our wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482819 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:18:02 +0000 Turd Ferguson 482819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2.5 months after getting married, I think I finally wrapped up everything with the exception of my passport, my gun permit, and my checkbook... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482813 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:09:53 +0000 fussygal 482813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been married over a year and I still have two credit cards to switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482779 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 12:42:31 +0000 Grace 482779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been 20 months since we got married and I still have to change my passport. My cell phone is in my old name (I've tried to change it but it is ridiculously difficult), and my car loan is in the old name (which I'm not going to bother with). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482739 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 12:10:03 +0000 Bao 482739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I had it all done 5 months after we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482736 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 12:09:11 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 482736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's where I have to shamefully admit that I've been carrying around my long-form marriage certificate in my bag for two weeks now and haven't made it to Service Ontario to change my name! </p> <p>I already missed the cutoff to do it for free so now I feel no rush, haha -- except that it's becoming really hard to sign my name because my cards are still my maiden name but I'm using my husband's last name everywhere else so I have to take a second to think about what name I have to write down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482717 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:40:21 +0000 lomom 482717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was done in a few weeks!

The only thing I didn't bother to change was magazine subscriptions, but I had everything else done within a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482692 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:24:07 +0000 .twist. 482692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did pretty much everything. The only things left are the title to our house and my passport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482687 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:21:14 +0000 PurplePumps 482687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It's been about 1.5 years and I just changed my license a few months ago and still have a few credit cards and frequent flyer programs to change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482681 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:15:28 +0000 Weagle 482681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done everything but my passport and we've been married 3 years and 3 days :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482668 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:03:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 482668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have everything changed now except my passport. I'm not sure when I will need it, so I will just wait till then and change it later down the road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482654 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:53:43 +0000 JamieLee 482654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't changed my passport (we never leave the country) or my student loans. Everything else was changed within a couple months of our wedding. I'll probably never do the student loans and won't do the passport until we're actually planning a trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482636 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:39:01 +0000 Mrs. J 482636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everything except my car title and stock account. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482635 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:37:31 +0000 kml636 482635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just changed mine after 3 years of marriage because of LO's arrival. Such a PITA! I still need to change it on a few accounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482624 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:25:30 +0000 autumnlove 482624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRS. LEMON-LIME: Haha, my dad was upset because I went to DMV and SS a few weeks after our wedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482604 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:13:33 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 482604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed everything immediately except my passport. I finally did that over the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482599 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:09:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 482599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not change my professional license or my stock account. Eventually I will provide both with my marriage license, but then again it's been over two years and the world still turns. Everything else was changed so quickly my family was a bit offended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482588 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:01:54 +0000 LAGS 482588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still have a lot to do and our 2 year anniversary is in a few days. My passport is in my maiden name, but it's my Canadian passport so I didn't bother updating. My old Cdn bank accounts are in maiden name, my SSN and SIN are in maiden name. My green card is in my married name though, cc's too... I really need to get my crap together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482587 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 10:01:35 +0000 hellobeeboston 482587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've done everything except my passport! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482578 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 09:57:37 +0000 matador84 482578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't change until two years after we got married. I did all the major stuff in one day-DMV, passport, SS...but everyonce and a while I come across something I forgot to change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482574 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 09:54:18 +0000 EBSC 482574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did everything almost immediately. I was moving out of the country two months after the wedding, so did an expedited passport, and changed all my accounts and everything so DH could get to whatever he needed to while I was away. Stressful at the time, but now it's done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482571 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 09:53:02 +0000 lemondrop 482571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are still random things I find at almost or 3 year anniversary. AAA always comes due this time of year, they still used my maiden name. Someday I'll fix that one, but all the important stuff is changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-changed-your-last-name#post-482567 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 09:47:34 +0000 Smurfette 482567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it all within the first couple months. I did my passport since I had just gotten it for the honeymoon, if you change within a year you get it replaced for free. </p> <p>My main email is still under my maiden name but that is all. Just to lazy to change and let everyone know, but I know I need to do it. </p>
