What order do I change my name in?

Do it out of order and agencies reject you — the DMV, passport office, and IRS all verify your new name against Social Security. Answer six questions and we'll run your situation through the same engine that builds our paid packets.

Do you have a U.S. passport?

If yes: when was it issued? (approximate is fine — this picks your form)

Are you registered to vote?

YesNo

Do you own a vehicle?

YesNo

Are you employed?

YesNo

Are you also moving?

YesNo

Change Your Name is a self-help form-preparation service, not a law firm, and doesn't provide legal advice. We prepare government filings (Social Security, passport, DMV, voter) for you to review, sign, and submit yourself. We never file government identity documents on your behalf. Any notifications we send to private companies (banks, insurers, and the like) go out only with your consent, on your instruction. Your information is encrypted, and providing your SSN is always optional.

Change Your Name is a service of Change Your Name LLC, Illinois. Questions: support@changeyourname.app.
