Change Your Name

Free state guides

Name change after divorce, state by state.

Going back to a former name: the steps are federal, but the fees, forms, and rules are your state's. Pick yours for the exact sequence — Social Security first, then your DMV, passport, and voter registration — with your certified decree as the proving document.

States marked Form pre-filled are the 21 where the Kit fills your state's actual DMV form, every box. Everywhere else we link the official form and fill everything federal.

Every guide funnels into the same 10-minute questionnaire — we prepare the paperwork for whichever state you're in.
