This kit contains helpful links to effect these changes, letters notifying companies, organizations and agencies of your name change and an Amendment to Contract form. This kit also includes a handy checklist to ensure you don’t miss anything.

  • Department of Motor Vehicles to change your driver’s license and vehicle title and registration;
  • U.S. Department of State to change an existing passport;
  • Internal Revenue Service change of address form;

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:
