When should I order a NewlyNamed name change kit?

You can purchase NewlyNamed anytime before or after receiving your legal name change document (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order). However, you cannot start the name change process until after you have physical possession of your legal name change document. 

If you are engaged, you can purchase NewlyNamed anytime before or after your wedding. However, you will need to wait until you receive your marriage certificate before you can start the name change process using your NewlyNamed name change kit. Most couples receive their marriage certificate 1-2 weeks after their wedding.

The information we gather to create your name change kit is the same as if you purchased NewlyNamed after your name change event.

You are required to present your legal name change document (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order) when updating your name on your Social Security card, driver's license, US passport, etc.

Your NewlyNamed account does not expire, so you can take as much time as necessary to fill out your online NewlyNamed account.

With either package (NewlyNamed Box or Print at Home), you will always have access to the most up-to-date version of your name change kit in your online account.
