Name Change cheat sheet?

I am currently changing my name back to my maiden name with credit cards, frequent flyer numbers, etc. I have made a standard package that includes my my driver license, divorce decree, and standard letter but it seems each credit card, etc. has different protocol. Has anyone seen a phone number/fax number cheat sheet for this? If not, I'm making one after my 2nd experience changing my name in 4 years!

If she changed her name frequently she would know how to do it already and not require a "cheat sheet". How about a little compassion, or next time remember what your foot tastes like so you don't put it there again.

1. If she did it often she would probably already know the answer to her own question

2. This is one of the most obnoxious comments ive seen here, and thats saying a lot!

I believe once you change your name with the DMV and Social Security that should be all you need in order to change everything else. I haven't worked at the DMV in 5 years, but I would assume certain ID standards haven't changed. You should change your name with SS first then DMV.
Good Luck!!

Maybe she would like to put something together in order to help others knowing the annoyance of the experience.

Ew. That comment was completely uncalled for and incredibly rude. I guess you missed school on the day they taught "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

And FWIW, I am sure the OP meant from going from her maiden name to married name and then back again to her maiden name (twice).

NOT that she's moving on to a new person every year........

Good luck OP!

I don't even remember this process and what was needed when I changed to my married name.

Lots of companies are different in what they require.

Haha, wow I started a fire storm! Didn't expect that! Thanks to the ladies on here that were able to clarify what I meant in my apparent cryptic request. Chat Icon

Yes, I am going back to my maiden name. What I meant by a "cheat sheet" was a list of phone numbers/fax numbers/emails to contact when changing legal last name. Not only credit cards (those were the easy ones), but I travel often so I have frequent flier numbers, hotel reward plans, etc. that I needed to update with my new name. Unfortunately most of the websites are not clear and you need to sit on the phone with computer operator on a 1-800 number just to get the fax number or email address to send paperwork. So anyways, I was just looking for a info sheet like this!

Thanks for the help--I created one using information I found on internet as well as my own research so that it can be easy for future ladies (whether due to divorce or marriage) to do!

I counted and in total, I just changed 16 airline/hotel/car rental frequent flier programs so yeah, regardless of how often I may change my name, it is a b*tch to do regardless. Chat Icon

Gotcha.
I have one of those "sheets" just in case I lose any of my information or God forbid my wallet.
I keep a copy in my desk at work.

Nuisance to change one's name, but you did yours for a good reason.

It truly is! I am shocked that most of my airline programs need notarized letters on top of all the support required at DMV, SS! Good luck to you too!
