Hello

How do I change my name after wedding?

I get married on Saturday 29th june.
I will have two copies of wedding certificate....i need to post one tp change driving licence and post other to change my car ownership. .. my v5 form.

S what do I post to car insurance company as mine is due for rwnewal on 8th july.

I was given the option of buying extra certificates prior to the wedding as they worked out cheaper than if I left it until after. I thought this better as I could get most places done at the same time then.

Im going to a new insurance company as one im with now said they will not lwt me change my name without proof and said I will be charged too!

So I guess I just apply with new company with new name....but when they check with dvla my car will still be registered under ols surname.

At our registry office we could buy as many certificates as we wanted - cheaper to pay for beforehand or on the day - but still able to get after the day just double price. I bought 2 and photocopied more (just need A3 size copier)
For me passport and driving licence wanted originals - car insurance wanted copy - vehicle registration didn't need any proof, just fill in name change section on the log book. Bank wanted original but was ok just to show a it to them at my branch. Credit cards wanted photocopy

Probably like a lot of official things, no blanket rule - each authority makes up it's own rules!
I think a lot of companies are understanding when you explain you are newly married and paperwork can't all just change over together on one day - it takes time.
Oh to be a man! Simples for them lol

Edit to add: Just a thought but you dont *have* to change your name at all - so actually you may be better to renew your insurance all in your single name - wait a week or two then change driving licence and all others after that? x

Ah missed where you said they would charge you (pfft! bad them!) So yes would make sense to avoid rubbish charges.
You can do it ( have things in different names) so long as you are in the process of changing all to the same name and not doing it for fraud reasons

I've changed my name already lol.
I didn't want a different name to my children and as we did things backwards I ended up getting a deed poll.
My passport is already in what will be my married name - and as passports don't stipulate Miss or Mrs I can book our honeymoon as Mr & Mrs Tomlinson
I guess I'll have to let all the other places know I'm now Mrs - although most places have me down as Mrs already ha!
My Insurance company just took my info over the phone. I only sent my deed poll to the DVLA and Passport agency. Nowhere else asked!
