Divorce Name Change

When you changed names after marriage, chances are you simply presented your marriage certificate and your accounts and memberships were updated into your new name. This is known as an assumed name, meaning you never legally changed names and your maiden name, or the name you held immediately prior to marriage, are still yours to use at any time and for any reason.

The good news is you can revert to your name before marriage by simply proving the link between your married name and prior name. The notification process is the same regardless of your situation, however the documents you need to present will be different depending on your circumstance. See the relevant article below to help guide you through the process.
