Change Back to My Maiden Name While Still Married. Without a Divorce!

Change Back to My Maiden Name While Still Married. Without a Divorce!

Reversing your name change within your existing marriage is tricky. If you're grappling with this dilemma, know that you're not alone. Does a quick fix exist? Let's find out.

Right question, wrong answer

We've gotten thousands of name change questions throughout the years. Sprinkled amongst them are interesting edge cases. At first glance, they're not what they appear.

Here's a curious example:

  1. I want my maiden name back!
  2. Can I change back to my maiden name without a divorce?
  3. How do I change back to my maiden name while still married?

The first appears to be folks pursuing divorce and wanting their maiden name restored. Simple enough. Just ask the judge to restore it within your divorce decree. Done!

The last two questions are ambiguous. Are they separated or getting divorced, yet haven't finalized it? Are they getting antsy, wanting to get their old name back early?

But what about someone who:

  1. Is happily (or unhappily) married.
  2. Regrets their name change.
  3. Wants to get back their maiden name.
  4. Isn't interested in divorce, remarriage, or court orders.

Online queries (ignoring the nuances) will often yield two common solutions:

  1. Get divorced. (Sigh!)
  2. Petition the court for a name change. (Ugh!)

These suggestions aren't wrong per se. But they might be overkill.

You just want a reset!

Does it come down to regret? You feel sorry you changed your name. You want your maiden name and identity back. Your reasons could be personal, professional, or a mix.

It doesn't matter. You're tired of litigating your decision. You just want things undone. Maybe you'll change it again later. Maybe not. But, let's just start over.

Just petition the court. Right?

Bernard Baruch: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

Conventional wisdom suggests you've got one shot at name change through marriage. Undoing it means petitioning the court for a second name change:

  1. Court forms
  2. Hefty filing fees
  3. Courthouse hearings
  4. Local newspaper publication
  5. Soul-crushing headache and time wasted
Play on words of Nathan Hale's famous quote: "I only regret that I have but one name change to offer for my marriage."

No wonder people bury their name change sorrows as lessons learned. It's too late. Take your medicine. Wallow in self-loathing. Because the fix is too much trouble!

But is there an easier way? A secret corridor? Yes!…

Name correction to the rescue

It's always great to share a bonafide name change trick. Not a loophole. But a real, sanctioned, unambiguous solution. Its existence is remarkable, dating back to 2011.

And now, without further ado…

The SSA offers a lifetime return policy on name changes. You can return your married name for your maiden name (or any prior name held). Or exchange it for another new name.

And here's the kicker…

You can use your marriage certificate to get back your maiden name on your social security card. You don't need to get divorced or petition the court.

Yes, you can reuse the same marriage certificate used to change your name after marriage to undo that regretted name change. The cert giveth and taketh away.

This remedy works well for those who use our online name change kit to complete the name change process. Same as an initial marital name change.

Correction, reversal, undo, revert, flip-flop, u-turn

The SSA calls this a name correction; it's more of a name reversal or reset. Name reversions for marriage resemble regular name changes and follow the same procedures.

Social Security Program Operations Manual System name corrections protocol, established April 11, 2011

You can return to your maiden name for marriages, civil unions, and domestic partnerships using your marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership certificate.

Starting the name reversal process

The process for getting your maiden name back is the same for initial marriage name changes. See our social security card name change guide for what to do. The basic steps are:

  1. Mail the SSA form.
  2. Include your identification.
  3. Include your marriage certificate.

Deadlines and time limits

There's no deadline or timeline to undo or redo your married name change. You can pursue it right after you've changed your name or years later. The procedure remains the same.

Paraphrasing SSA POMS: "There's no deadline to reverse or redo your marriage name change."

Start over or forge a new path

The allure of a name reversal is the flexibility and breathing room it offers. You're not limited to a single name change retraction. You can seek consecutive revisions.

For instance, if you're struggling with uncertainty, you can revert, get your new SSN card, then either stop or plow ahead with yet another fresh name change.

Maximum do-overs

The SSA allows unlimited social security card name reversals and revisions. But over three changes within the same marriage will raise red flags.

If the field office thinks something fishy is going on, they'll consult the regional office. Impetuousness isn't a crime; you're okay as long as your pursuit is legit.

Vast name change reversal options

You're not relegated to just returning to your maiden name. You can change to any of the following names, whatever your current name is:

  1. Birth or maiden name
  2. Any prior name
  3. Spouse's last name
  4. Hyphenated last names
  5. Space-separated last names
  6. Part of spouse's compound surname

We'll elaborate on each of the above with the following examples.

1. Birth or maiden name change example

Let's say your maiden name is Rose Garcia, married Jordan Moore, changed your name to Rose Moore, then back to Rose Garcia. This rollback sequence works.

2. Any prior name example

Imagine you're on your second marriage; both times, taking your spouse's surname. Name reversal lets you return to any prior last name: maiden or ex-spouse's.

3. Spouse's last name example

Suppose your name was Ryan Lee, married Josh Clark, then hyphenated to Ryan Lee-Clark. Now you wish to just take your spouse's surname as Ryan Clark. You can do this.

4. Hyphenated last names example

Let's say your name was Ann Hall, married Ari Smith, then hyphenated to Ann Hall-Smith. You can reorder surnames, drop the hyphen for a space, or restore your birth name.

See our extended article covering the pros and cons of hyphenating your last name after marriage. (Whether you may come to or from this direction).

5. Space-separated last names example

See the prior hyphenated example, then swap out hyphen with space. Same result.

6. Part of spouse's compound surname example

If you were Jane King, married Mark Allen-Hill, then changed your name to Jane Allen-Hill, you can later shift to Jane Allen or Jane Hill. The dropped part must be a whole word.

Will this truly work? Reassure me!

The strategy of reversing your name change is well-documented and approved in POMS RM 10212.150 and POMS RM 10212.155: the SSA's operations manual.

Old Russian proverb: "Trust but verify."

There's even a documented example of this "I want my maiden name back" scenario in POMS RM 10212.160H:

Ruth Gonzalez changed her last name on her SSN card to her husband’s surname, Scott, when they married years ago but has never used that name. She is requesting a change in SSA records back to her maiden name, Gonzalez.

Her marriage document shows Ruth Gonzalez married Lou Scott. The new name requested (in this case the maiden name, Ruth Gonzalez), can be derived from the marriage document.

In addition, Ruth submits her driver’s license in the new name (Ruth Gonzalez). Ruth's legal name and identity have been established following RM 10212.150C, and the name correction can be processed.

Name correction example quoted from POMS RM 10212.160H.

But we were still skeptical. Maybe these sources were outdated or deprecated. So we contacted several SSA field offices at random, posing this hypothetical:

If someone changed their last name through marriage, will the SSA let them return to their maiden name using the same marriage certificate?

Name change undo query posed to SSA agents.

Responses from SSA agents fell into two buckets:

  1. No, you need a court order to change your name again.
  2. Yes, it's doable using your marriage certificate.

When we brought up the relevant POMS article, nos shifted to either:

  1. Hold on, let me look that up.
  2. Hold on, let me speak with my supervisor.

Soon after, every no concluded with either:

  1. Yes, it's possible after all.
  2. Yes, this works. I hadn't heard of this before.

Don't take a chance; plan for success

Considering that several SSA agents weren't aware of name reversal protocols, do yourself a favor and include a note referencing the pertinent POMS articles when filing:

I'm submitting a name correction for my current marriage per POMS RM 10212.150 and RM 10212.155 and RM 10212.160H.

Example notice to SSA field office agent.

You can go further by printing each POMS article and attaching it to your paperwork.

Caveats, fine print, and gotchas

Reversing your marriage name change with the SSA is easy. But this technique is only guaranteed to work with them. For instance, your state DMV might not agree.

When should I use this?

Name change undo, redo, reversal, or switcheroos work best when the only agency you've updated is the SSA. This allows you to start with a clean slate.

When should I rethink my name do-over?

You may have gone too far down the rabbit hole to turn back once you've updated many IDs, such as your driver's license and passport.

This is the downside and danger. Changing your name with one government entity only to have another scoff. They may even want you to reverse your reversal.

Name change reversal concluding thoughts

Undoing the name change on your social security card for your current marriage is doable. The SSA paperwork is the same. If you're yearning for a reset, here's your chance.

If you're looking for an efficient way to complete your name change undo, redo, or reversal, our online name change kit can help guide you along the way.

Our name change kit helps you change your name, either before or after marriage.

    Hi. I changed my last name into a hyphenated name (my maiden and my spouse’s name). I do now regret the decision and would like to change to just my spouse’s name since we have a child and it seems like everything would just be easier if we all had the same last name. However, I did change my NJ Driver’s Lic. But I did not change my US passport, which doesn't expire until Aug 2022.

    If I mail in all the required documents to the SSA and am granted a name do-over, do you think I will have trouble with my passport and/or my NJ Lic? Should I do my passport second and then my license, so that I have 2 documents with my new name?

    Reply
    1. Tyrone Jones

      Hi Marge. Your passport will be fine. You could face trouble with your driver's license, because you're lacking a subsequent name change event. You may want to email the NJ MVC and ask them if they'll allow a subsequent name change if your social security record will reflect the change.

      Or if they'll accept it if your SSA record shows your new name and you can present a passport with the proper name. So two points of supporting documentation. The latter would require you to wait for the return of your updated passport.

      Getting a response by email would provide you a hard copy response instead of a phone reply.

      Hi Marge,

            I was told cannot change in Michigan without court order and then there’s fees for fingerprinting and to be printed In paper and not court fee. I get a divorce if he give it to me but I can’t afford this either 😞

          3. Tyrone Jones

            Hi Marijo. It's not clear which entity you're referring to. The SSA, DMV, or another office?

          4. Marijo

            For the Pom Rm # you said to use States Foreign marriage or foreign recognized same-sex marriage.

            But SSA said I have to have a court order to change back to my maiden name said that was standard for any state. This what you’re stating would only be good for newlyweds or who probably never accepted their spouse name but to claim they let you take our maiden name back is false.

          5. Tyrone Jones

            States Foreign marriage or foreign recognized same-sex marriage

            There isn't a reference to foreign marriage in the POM ID or the article. Are you sure you're referencing the same ID?

            what you’re stating would only be good for newlyweds or who probably never accepted their spouse name

            There is an example referencing a name correction where the marriage (and accompanying name change) took place several years prior.

            This isn't an often used procedure. Name reversals are uncommon in practice, even though they're their use cases are documented.

            It may not be sufficient to reference the POMS ID alone or assume it's common knowledge. The full operations reference and supporting example page may be worth printing and including as attachments.

    What if I never changed my Driver's License or Social Security card to my un-hyphenated, only spaced after, married name?

    Ex: "Jane FaTeeRay Doe". Maiden name FaTeeRay. I also got my passport and work license under my maiden name. The only place that still has my unhyphenated only spaced married name is the marriage certificate and my insurance companies, who will not change it, for what reason I'm not sure.

    In order to change insurance, titles, etc to my maiden name, (which I have been going by in employment, credit, everything else for over 15 years now), do I still use this "trick"? (Confusing bc my SS Card was never changed.) Please let me know.

    Reply
    1. Tyrone Jones

      Hi Julie. Your insurance companies go by their own internal rules. You'll have to resolve this with them directly.

      You can appeal to them citing your predicament as a name correction instead of a change. Explain how your name hasn't changed on your social security card, driver's license, credit bureaus, etc.

      If they deny your request, you can ask for their rationale and name change requirements in writing. You may want to dispatch your follow-up correspondence in writing as well.

      You could also contact your state insurance commissioner for advice, assistance, or to file a complaint.

    When you change your name with SSA again, does that become your official legal name? Some DMVs state that you must get a court order to change your name again if it has been changed due to marriage the first time.

    For example: If Sara Smith married John Doe and initially changed it to Sarah Smith Doe (first, middle, last) and then realizes she wants to be Sarah Smith-Doe, she can use the bylaws with SSA using the same marriage license to become Sarah Smith-Doe. Then the SSA gives you a new identification card.

    To me, that seems like even if your name is now Sarah Smith-Doe with SSA, the DMV won't accept the new social and the same marriage license for a new drivers license? Also will the passport office give the same push back?

    Is it possible to be hyphenated with SSA, but not on the passport and driver's license? I imagine professional degrees will have issues because of the inconsistency.

      Yes.

      Correct, assuming a name change took place with both the SSA and DMV.

      To me, that seems like even if your name is now Sarah Smith-Doe with SSA, the DMV won't accept the new social and the same marriage license for a new drivers license?

      If the only entity changed was the SSA, that makes things easier. If the driver's license was also changed, undoing the name change will likely require a court order.

      Also will the passport office give the same push back?

      Same situation. The end of the article mentioned how this approach becomes more difficult once you've begun to update an array of ID beyond social security.

      Is it possible to be hyphenated with SSA, but not on the passport and driver's license?

      Social security card and driver's license must match. The passport can be renewed under a current name, even if it deviates from the new married name.

    When I got married, I changed my name to my husbands last name. Now, I'd like to hyphenate it to include my maiden name. Can I use the reversal process to switch back to my maiden name and then go to the social security office to hyphenate it with my marriage certificate?

    Reply
    1. Tyrone Jones

      Hi Danielle. You can return to your maiden name. Whether you can hyphenate depends on if there's an explicit new name after marriage block on your marriage certificate. If yes, that's the only name change they'll accept. If no new name section exists, you can hyphenate.

      If your marriage certificate supports this, you don't have to perform two subsequent name changes. You can go straight to hyphenate.

      Hi Melissa. You don't have to change your name, even though your marriage license and certificate says you'll hyphenate.

      If you still don't want your license and certificate to show the hyphenated name, you may contact the office that issued it to modify and reissue it. They may be willing to do this without additional fees. Otherwise, they'll require you to submit a new application, fees and all.

      I was told originally it wasn’t possible by the first person I spoke with. I came back the same day after researching, got a new person to talk to, and after citing the official policy that applied to me (just google POMS 10212.155), specifically “ Change from spouse’s or partner’s surname to numberholder’s prior name (e.g., maiden name)”, I was able to fill out the form with just my original marriage certificate and my ID (which still had my maiden name, the only thing I had changed since getting married was my social). I should have my new card in 2 weeks according to the person who actually helped me at the office.

      Hi Alice. You should update all mentioned documents, including bank, insurance, and retirement accounts. But keep in mind the caveat mentioned in the article that if you've changed your name beyond social security the reversal process using your marriage certificate may be out of reach.

      DO NOT hyphenate your name!! This will turn into a TOTAL NIGHTMARE! I hyphenated mine 29 years ago and am attempting to get his name removed so I can just go by my maiden name… of which I never gave up!

      We have a wonderful marriage, but his family is very contentious and I am sick of dealing with them and refuse to die with "their" name attached to mine. Plus back in the 1990s, there was no issue as to how many characters your name contained; but now that we are in the 21st century, this has become another nightmare as companies do not permit as many "characters", so they take it upon themselves to abbreviate your name… which they usually drop the first part of the hyphenated name, thereby making you go by his name and NOT your own!

      Even though this website states you can revert back to your maiden name via a marriage certificate, I just came from the local SSA office and they treated me as if I was a criminal attempting to do something illegal. The rude clerk informed me that I have to have a court order stating my name has been legally changed back to my maiden name; but when I spoke with a different clerk yesterday at the same office, she told me all I needed was my marriage certificate, birth certificate, and driver's license… then stated I did not need a court order! The clerk today basically accused me of being a liar and attempting to commit fraud! Just PLEASE weight the pros and cons…which in my case it has become such a nightmare that this process is destroying my peace of mind!

      Hi Christina. You'd use your marriage certificate to change it with the SSA. The potential problem point is the driver's license office. Even though they'll query the SSA database for a name match, they don't follow the same name reversal rules as the SSA.

      That's why folks are often able to execute exotic or complex name changes with the SSA only to have the DMV question or reject it. It's also why reversals become difficult once you venture outside the SSA universe. You might end up having to petition just to satisfy the DMV.

      If you've already changed your name on your social security record, you'll want to change it back there before handing your driver's license. The reason is the driver's license office will perform an electronic verification against the SSA system and will detect the name mismatch. Having your old social security card with your prior name wouldn't help.

    Today I changed my last name on my license to my spouse’s at NJ DMV, but after I left I regretted it. Could I go back tomorrow and ask them to amend the new license to reflect a hyphenated name? I did not yet change my social security card or passport, and haven’t received a hard copy of the new license yet. Thank you for your help.

      Hi Kiki. Yes, that will likely be an issue since you've gone all the way with your name change. Reversals work best when you've just crossed the edge with your social security card instead of updating everything.

      Hi Bobbi. The procedure from over a decade ago is unlikely to be the same as today. You were able to update your ID before your social security card. These days the order is reversed: SS card first, then ID (i.e., driver's license or state-issued ID).

      You'll have to contact the DDS and ask them the procedure to match your ID with your current social security record. It needs to be resolved eventually as when it comes time to renew your ID, it won't match your social security record.

    I was with my husband for 24 years, we've been separated for 6. At first we didn't divorce because it was costly and we had one minor child still at home.

    He currently has many health problems and says he would like to stay married so that if he passes away I can receive benefits, to sort of make up for the years of not being able to help financially.

    We have an amicable relationship at this point. I have been in a relationship with someone for over a year and would like to change my last name to his. We have no plans to get married. Is it possible for me to do that without divorcing?

      Yes, but you would have to petition the court for a name change. You could use a marriage certificate, as it would only apply to your current marriage. You've ruled out a divorce decree, which leaves a court order as the only viable name change document available.

    Why is it so difficult to change your married name back to your maiden name on your Social Security and license while still married? I'm in the state of North Carolina and I've contact the courthouse and everyone who I spoken to said no you cannot change your married name back to your maiden name while still being married.

    You have to have a divorce but why would I need to go through all that process just to change my name back if I'm continue to be with my husband?

    All I want to do is have my maiden name back my identity and I don't think it it's none of no one's business why but of course they're going to ask questions, but why is everybody making a big deal out of it??

      Hi Denise. Those who work in the courthouse are not social security employees. They're taking a macro view of name change where the prime methods are marriage, divorce, and court orders. Expecting them to know the nuances of social security, driver's license, or passport name change procedures is too much to expect.

      The courthouse isn't the go-to for your situation. They're only concerned with name changes via court petitions. That's their lane.

      If you don't change your name, your old SSA card with your maiden name would not be valid since it doesn't match your current SSA record.

      Or do I have to change the name back to my maiden name again and have exactly the same card but with the new date?

      This is moot, since they will send you a new card if you do change your name. You should use the new card anyway, just in case they've built in new security features since your last card.

    I got divorced and opted to revert to my maiden name. Although for years after my divorce I kept using my hyphenated married last name, but then when I got my first passport they forced me to use my maiden name since it was on the divorce decree and I was also forced to update my ID and DL. But I’d still like to use my married last name (it’s hyphenated).

    How would I officially revert back to using my hyphenated last name? I think it starts with being issued a new SS card right? Will I need to go to court for that?

      Hi Yaima. While it's great that your name reversal worked for the SSA, it looks like you did get caught in the caveat referenced near the end of the article. To satisfy the DMV, you would have to pursue a court order. The alternative is to reverse your reversal to match your old driver's license.

      And a note about court ordered name changes… it may be more work than a simple marital name change, but it may not be as complex as most people imagine.

      The lengthiest part is fulfilling the newspaper publication requirement, but many states do not even require publication (see linked table). Of course, there's the filing fee, but not every state makes it expensive. And not every state even requires a hearing.

    This worked for me for reverting to my maiden name without divorce/separation paperwork!! Pretty much went as the article said, with the office workers being completely unaware of this exception. POMS 10212.155 seems to be the more accurate one to reference. My experience:

    (1) I went into office, they looked up the POMS numbers referenced in the article, but cited that it didn't match the "name change/correction" rules. Despite the example in the POMS directly with my exact scenario. They said they'd escalate my case to a regional officer but I never heard back.

    (2) I returned another day with POMS 10212.155 printed out and highlighted. Got a more friendly person who looked at the printout and entered in my information (using my marriage certificate as the proof of name change). Got my card in the mail a week later.

    The second time I went, I didn't mention divorce/separation, as they got caught up in insisting on that paperwork without reading the POMS exceptions.

    Thanks a ton for this site, it was the only one I found with the right information (including the tip that you just have to return and talk to someone different sometimes!)

    I was married in 2019 and updated my name by dropping my existing middle name and replacing with my maiden name and took my husbands last name. So if my name was Jane Doe Kelly and I married Mark Green, my name is now Jane Kelly Green. We are happily married but I can’t shake the fact that I feel I have given up my identity, even though I still hold on to my Maiden name in some capacity as my new middle name …

    I’ve since updated my SS card and my passport, but not my drivers license. Am I out of luck now to easily completely revert?

    Hi – The Colorado DMV website says that residents "may change their name to names present on their marriage/civil union certificate" and also lists certified birth certificates as "acceptable name change documents."

    I would like to change my hyphenated name ("Birthname-Spousename") back to my birthname. My birthname is the one on file with SSA and it is listed on the original marriage certificate. Decades ago, the DMV would not allow me to make this change (they wanted a divorce decree–but I'm happily married).

    My marriage certificate was recorded over 30 years ago. Are there any problems I should anticipate here? Thanks so much.

    Reply
    1. Tyrone Jones

      Hi October. You'll have to go into the DMV with a certified copy of your marriage certificate along with a certified copy of your birth certificate. It's important that your marriage certificate show your maiden name and spouse's last name to indicate how your hyphenated name was formed.

      Make it clear to them you have a credential inconsistency that has lasted years, where your social security record has not changed, but your driver's license is out of step with federal identification. Also clarify that you are not divorcing or planning to divorce. You just need your records aligned. Any supporting documentation showing the use of your maiden name is helpful.

      You may be able to get your driver's license matched up with these documents without resorting to obtaining a court order. But it may very well come down to the interpretation and leniency of the agent who handles your application.

      Reply
      1. October

        Hi Tyrone. Thanks so much for this helpful detailed advice. You were right about the leniency of the agent–the one I just talked to (by phone) was fine with me changing my name with a thirty-year old marriage certificate… as long as that was the *first and only* change. However, she considered dropping the hyphenated name a *second* change rather than a restoration/alignment to my federal ID, therefore requiring a second document (a court order).

        Adapting some advice you'd given elsewhere on this site, we looked into Colorado's marriage licensing and learned we could be issued a new license (technically for a 'vow renewal') and self-solemnize it via signatures in a one-stop trip to the Recorder's Office for $30. This is much cheaper, faster, and less onerous than Colorado's court ordered name change procedure. Plus it amused our kids that our renewed vows are "we will outfox bureaucracy together."

        The new license will be issued in the hyphenated Birthname-Spousename shown on my state ID, but I'm making sure that Birthname alone is also present somewhere on the document, just in case ("Coloradans may change their name to names present on their marriage/civil union certificate") and will present this new marriage license to the DMV to change back to my birth name.

        In case it helps any other regretfully-hyphenated folks: though the Colorado DMV refused to let me drop the hyphenation on the name line of my license in years past, they did permit me to drop it in my signature shown ON the license, making my birth name my legal *signature* at least.

        Again, thank you so much. I wouldn't have thought to go the vow renewal route had I not read your site.

            UPDATE: Success! The DMV did change my name back to my birthname (from birthname-spousename) upon seeing the new 'vow renewal' marriage license. Hilariously, though, after scrutinizing the 2nd marriage license (under birthname-spousename), the agent sighed and asked, "Did you happen to bring your birth certificate?" and once I handed it to her, she handed back the marriage license and instead elected to use the birth certificate for processing the name change!

            Also, when I offered her my social security card (under birthname), she scoffed and said, "We're stricter than Social Security – they allow all sorts of name changes that we don't."

Am I able to switch my last name back to Schafer, and then us our marriage certificate so my wife can change her last name to Schafer?

    Does us living in a new state cause any issues? Would we have to go back to get this done in MD (my birth state)or DE or CA (wife’s birth state)?

    Does me changing my license to Hernandez make it possible?

    I’m not sure how we would be able to do this, a little complicated. Thanks I’m advance for your help!

      Hi Hernandez-Schafer. Both you and your wife can complete your respective name changes at the same time using your marriage certificate, assuming your maiden name of Schafer appears on the certificate. (You would need to acquire two certified copies though.) Your new state of residence isn't a problem.

    I am married but have been separated for many years. If I changed back to my maiden name with social security do I have to change the name in my driver's license and back account or can i just leave them in my married name?

      Hi Limi. Most state laws stipulate that you must update the name on your driver's license when changing your name. Even if you deferred, you would have to complete the change once it became time to renew your license.

      How your bank would handle a name mismatch varies per institution. It shouldn't affect soft credit checks, since those typically do not reveal your first or last name. If a hard credit check were ever pulled, it might reveal a name mismatch if new credit accounts start showing up in your maiden name again. You can contact your bank to inquire for certain how they'll handle this hypothetical.

    Hi, I got married in 2021 and on the marriage certificate changed my last name to my husband's last name. I have not yet changed my last name on any identification (school, license, social security, passport, banks). Would I be able to change and go back to maiden name on my marriage certificate?

      No, you cannot change the married name on your marriage certificate after it has been recorded.

    I am a U.S. citizen and got married in Brazil. I chose to take my husband's last name in the marriage certificate. After 7 years of marriage, I haven't changed any of my legal documents, and continued using my maiden name for everything.

    Now I'm going through a background check for a government position and they are asking if I've ever legally changed my name. I informed them that I've changed my name when I got married, but never used it for anything. Will I have problems being hired, because I never used my marriage name?

      Hi Cc. Since you've only changed your name on your marriage certificate, then you haven't legally changed your name.

    If my husband took my last name. Can we still change it back to his last name? With just our marriage license? He changed it with SSA and on his license? Is it easy to go back to his last name? And can I change mine to his last name still?

      Hi Marissa. Your husband can change his name with SSA, but his license might not be possible without going to court. You can change your name to your husband's name using the certificate.

    I started the process of taking my husband's last name and dropping my maiden name. Our marriage certificate reflects my new name. Now I want to go back and change it so that my maiden name is my middle name and my last name is my husband's. So far I have done my license and my SSA. Do I have to go to court to get it changed?

      Hi Caitlin. When your marriage certificate cites your new name, the SSA may only change it to that name. You can revert to your maiden name using your marriage certificate. A court order is required for anything beyond those two options.

    This totally worked. I can't thank you enough for your insight! They were trying to turn me away at first but I came prepared with paperwork in hand an let them know it came straight from the SSA website.

    After talking to 3 associates, it was approved! They all were honestly just unaware of the situation because it's considered unconventional. The staff learned something new and I got my name change on my SS card.
