Title, but not name, change after marriage

I was wondering if anyone had any experience in just changing title after getting married? We've chosen to keep our own names, but being a "Miss" doesn't feel right any more, and I'm planning on swapping to "Ms".
I know passports are title-less, but was wondering what anyone else's experience with changing titles is? Does it need all the same paperwork as a full name change?

You don't need any paperwork - just start using Ms.
If you want to change things like bank accounts, just write and tell them how you want to be addressed.0 -
I went into the bank and asked them to change it to Mrs. They didn't need any paperwork. I haven't bothered with most other places, but I don't think it's likely to be a problem.0

Your title is not part of your legal name so it should not require anything other than informing the relavant organisation.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0
