Update your social security card first

Once you have a new name, legally changed, request your documents to reflect this. The first process involves getting a new social security card. You will also need to bring your State identification, passport, driver's license-photo IDs-together with a birth certificate. You can then apply for a fresh Social Security card.

Next, change your name on your driver's license

It's also important to update your driver's license in Florida within 10 days, but you must wait for the Social Security Administration to process your request for a change of name first.

​

Follow through with remaining governmental/non-governmental institutions

After changing the name on the main governmental requirements such as Social Security and DMV, other documentation should also follow. These includes changing the name you have used in bank accounts, IRS, voter registration, mortgages and leases, credit cards, passport, PO boxes, medical offices, car title, among many others.

After these have been done and your name has been changed on all important documents, continue the use of the new name everywhere, including signing checks.
