ONE: Take a trip to a Social Security office with your marriage license and your current driver’s license. A new Social Security card will be mailed to you in about two weeks.
TWO: Take that new Social Security card or your marriage license and birth certificate to the Department of Motor Vehicles, sign on the dotted line, pose for a new picture and walk out with a new driver’s license in hand.
THREE: Use your new Social Security card and license to change the name on your accounts at the bank. Then be sure to change the name on your insurance policies, credit cards, loans and any other important accounts, documents and more.
