Changing Your Name After Divorce

procedures, many judges can restore your
former or birth name when finalizing
your divorce decree. There may be a
special form that needs to be submitted
with your divorce paperwork. You will
want to obtain certified copies of your
divorce decree so you may begin using
your new name and begin changing your
name on important documentation, such as
your:

Driver’s license.

Social security card. Employers will
require this change prior to changing
records. Contact your Social Security
Administration office for detailed
information on procedures for changing
this information.

·
Credit card companies.

Utilities, phone and cell phone
companies.
