Depends where you live. In scotland there is no such thing as Deed Poll and all you need to do is inform relevant and interested parties of your name change e.g. your employer, Inland Revenue, your bank, your GP etc. You can call yourself what ever you want in Scotland as long as you are not doing it to committ a fraud.

For it to be a legal name it would be on the original birth certificate. You can submit or call the capital of the state you were born in, and request it.

Your legal name is the name that is on your marriage certificate. This is a legal document that can change your name, if you said you wanted it changed. You are also responsible to get the name changed on your Social Security card after you are married. I would get this done as soon as possible or you can get in trouble with the IRS over it.

It depends on the laws of your state.  Of course, if you want to change your name, you have to file a petition, pay the costs, run an ad in the newspaper so that anyone can contest the name change, and then you go to court.  During your hearing, the judge will put you under oath, ask you some questions about your name, ask you if you are trying to defraud anyone (including creditors), then he will approve your petition, if the judge finds your petition to be valid.  After that, you have to go through the process of notifying the Social Security Administration, getting a new driver's license, and notifying your creditors.

This is what you need to do:\n1.  Gather up all of your current identification papers/ i.d./ social security card/ h.s. diploma/ etc. (all of the important things that will need changing)\n\n2.  Get a signed, notarized statement from your mother that says that she did not give correct information regarding your legal name, and that your name should be as it appears on your birth certificate.\n\n3.  Go to the social secruity administration office and get a social security card with the correct version of your name and current social security number.  Take whatever documentation they give you with you so that you can prove that the govt. has officially changed your name.\n\n4.  Take your birth certificate, the notarized letter, and your print out from the social security office to the DMV and have whatever current i.d. changed to the correct name.  They will take whatever kind of i.d./drivers' licence card from you as it is illegal to possess identification in 2 different names for the same person.\n\nYou will have to repeat the process for each piece of identification that you need changed (i.e. passports, H.S. Diploma, bank account info, College Degrees, vehicle registration, etc.)\nThe cost will be minimal... $20.00 notary fee, whatever DMV fees, any replacement fees.  (you can have your diploma and bank stuff changed for free.. I'm not sure about passports though)  I hope this helps.

You will need to submit your marriage certificate (original) and you passport (original) to the Passport Services office.  They will mail everything back to you.  In the back of your passport it will have a notiation of your changed name.  That is how I did it after I got married.  \n\nHere is the website from the governement about it:\nhttp://travel.state.gov/passport/fri/ChangeName/ChangeName_851.html\n\n\nSend a completed form DS-5504, U.S. Passport Re-Application Form, a certified copy of your marriage certificate or your name change court decree, two recent color photographs (2” by 2”), and your current valid passport to the following address: \n\nIf using USPS:\nNational Passport Processing\nP.O.

Fot this you need to go to court and have a hearing as to why you want your name changed. If your reason is good, without some kind of criminal intent, or to get away from crediters, the judge will order the name change.\n\nI suggest checking with an attorney or legal aid for advice on the matter.

It depends on your culture and the law in your country. When my mother married, she had to change her name to my father's surname. This was a long time ago. A name is only a name and does not change the person .

Go to the courthouse, with deed,and death certificate, and they should be able to change it into your name. Good Luck!

Bring your name change documents (court order, marriage certificate or divorce papers) to your local social security office, local DMV, your bank and your employer!  Do not forget to change your name with your bank and make sure you get a new atm card/credit card/and checks.  Some cashiers won't allow you to make a purchase if the name on your driver's license and credit/debit card don't match.  Also...notify your work so that your paychecks match the name on your bank account.  That can also cause some headaches if it is not done right away.\nGood luck!

Just copy what was on the previous deed, changing the dates and names to the new ones.\n\nSince you don't say what state you are in - if you are even in the US of A, no one can answer you. The chances are there is no legal form, but just language that lawyers use in your area.

YOu should inform all relevant organisations of the change by submitting the Deed Poll.  The ss number  will not change.

You don't say where you are. Name changes in the USA are made by application to, and order of, a court -- usually the county court of a state and often on a form provided by that court.\n\nIn England, name changes are by "deed poll": http://www.ukdps.co.uk/ -- a document signed as a deed and then filed. \n\nIn France and other civil law countries, a notary (a family and propery lawyer, not a "notary public" in US parlance) files an application to the court. Changes of name are discretionary with the court, and in some cases (Switzerland comes to mind) difficult and rare.\n\nThe "publicity" given to a name change depends on (1) the country involved and (2) who is watching matters coming before the court. Unless your jurisdiction's law requires you to advertise you don't have to. And you could always move temporarily to another state or country -- even to England -- and unless the change is fraudulent or with intent to deceive, it will probably be recognized everywhere.\n\nExcept if you have, or also have, the nationality of a civil-law country: they don't have to recognize a name change because the basis for naming in civil-law countries is (usually) nationality and not domicile (or perhaps residence) as in common-law countries.
