How long should I wait after getting married to change my name?

There is no deadline for changing your name.

You can technically wait as long as you want before starting the name change process. You can begin the process once you have the physical copy of your marriage certificate. However, we recommend that you wait until after your honeymoon or any travel you have already booked under your maiden name. If your plane tickets or reservations do not match your photo ID (driver's license or passport), you could be turned away, so it’s best to be cautious.
