Can I move my maiden last name to my middle name and take my spouse's last name?

Yes, moving your maiden last name to your married middle name and taking your spouse's last name is considered a traditional name change!


Note, if you live in Arizona (AZ), New Jersey (NJ), Pennsylvania (PA), or Washington (WA), in order to update/change your middle name you will need to update your U.S. passport before you update your driver's license/state-issued ID card. This will ensure you don't run into issues obtaining a driver's license/state-issued ID card in your new name.
