I’m getting married soon therefore will be changing my surname.
How do I change my surname with the benefits?
Do I call them or write to them?
Will I have have to send my marriage certificate as proof?
Is it an easy process just to change my surname?
We already claim as a couple so it would only be my name change, will this cause a claim for uc?
Do I have to contact say esa, child Benefit and tax credits separately?
Sorry for all the questions just niggling questions I have, thank you in advance

You should ring each department once you're married. You may need to send a copy of your marriage certificate.I’m getting married soon therefore will be changing my surname.

This won't prompt a move to UC because you're already claiming as a couple.
