Things You Need to Know Before You Legally Change Your Name After Marriage

There is no lawsuit in USA judiciary system that makes it compulsory for women or men to change their name after marriage. So, if you have walked the big aisle recently, it’s not mandatory to legally change your name after marriage. You can continue with your maiden name.

Yet, it is more like a tradition that women change their last name and accept their spouse’s last name after tying knot with the man. Over last years, there is also a growing community of couples where men adapt their wife’s last name as their surname or maiden name. If it is a same sex marriage, one of them choose to change his or her last name post wedding so as to have a common family name and make identity of their coming children clear.


It’s not really a tedious and complex process to legally change your name after marriage. You just need to have ability to be patient, spend a really good amount of time behind the task and have knowledge of the right steps in right sequence. Many newlyweds find it mind-numbing to work through lots of paperwork to get their name change done officially.
