MYTH #1

Changing Your Name Takes Forever

Most people assume name changes take weeks or even months of dealing with government offices. The truth? With NewlyNamed, you can fill out all your paperwork in under 30 minutes, and with our pre-stamped envelopes, you can mail everything off instantly.

MYTH #2

You Have to Go to Court

A lot of people think they need a court order to change their name. But if you’re changing your last name because of marriage, all you need is your marriage certificate. NewlyNamed provides both federal and state-specific forms personalized to you to make this process seamless. 

MYTH #3

Once You Change Your Name, It Updates Everywhere

Many people assume that once they update their Social Security card and driver’s license, they’re finished. But your name change needs to be updated across dozens of accounts—banks, credit cards, insurance, utilities, and even streaming services. Keeping track of everything can be overwhelming, but a personalized checklist ensures you don’t miss any important updates.

MYTH #4

You Have to Visit Every Office in Person

Waiting in long lines at government offices is no longer a necessity. Many name-change updates can now be completed online or by mail, making the process faster and more convenient. NewlyNamed creates your very own personalized name change kit so all you have to do is follow your personalized instructions to make your name change official!

MYTH #5

It’s Expensive

Handling the process alone can lead to unexpected fees, wasted time, and frustrating mistakes. With an affordable, all-in-one solution, you can save both time and money while ensuring everything is done correctly and efficiently.
