Just married - Advise!

I got married on Monday to the greatest guy ever and have decided to take his name.

I was just wondering if anyone could help me with my question.....who do I need to tell?

Obviously, dentist, doctors, banks etc....anyone else? Do I need to change it with the council or tax office or anything? I can't think.....

I know it's not urgent really but I'd just like to get stuff out of the way if I can before going back to work in Jan, cos I'll have little or no time then.

I think I told banks, boss at work. I still have to change my passport but I am not paying so I will wait for it to run out (we have been married 5 years lol). I must have rung council tax. I don't think it is mega urgent though

I've had to do my passport before hand cos it was about to run out and I wouldnt have been able to go on my honeymoon (on Saturday - v excited).

OOOh driving licence I guess needs sorting.

newlywed

Mobile phone contract
Private health care
Private/Company Pension plan
Company payroll dept(when you've changed your name at the bank)
Car insurance
DVLA - driving licence and the details for any car you own too?
Credit cards
Store cards
Tax office

- Only just got my driving licence done - passport has expired so will renew when I have a spare £75 :rolleyes:

You'll need to let the National Insurance people know so that they can re-issue your card.

Congratulations!

You can still use your old passport, aslong as the tickets are in your maiden name

There will always be more you forgot about

Just each time you get post in your maiden name, keep the letter in a special pile for people you need to inform

twinklie

Yeah but my passport was due to run out at the beginning of Jan. So I would of had no passport. So made sense to renew before and in my NEW name!

twinklie

Thats an excellent idea Newlywed.

I need to let uni know - as I'm doing teacher training. However, I'm not in uni again until end of Jan cos I'm on placement in school and I don't live near it either. V annoying. They pay me my bursary and I'm worried if I change account name my payments won't clear anymore. Anyone know if that will happen?

Work continued to pay my monthly wages in with my maiden name for a while. The account number etc were still the same so my bank allowed it to go through. Apparently they could see on their system what my name used to be - as they also let me pay in a cheque in my maiden name after I changed the account. With the cheque they said if it was a large amount it may be different - but it was small.
