How Soon Should I Change My Name?

While it’s common for newlyweds to change names within a few months of their wedding, there is no legal time frame required. Either spouse can change names immediately or years after their wedding.  Conversely, you can revert to your former name at any time, regardless of your marital status. Where some couples have both decided to keep their own surname, it’s okay to change your mind years later, often triggered by the arrival of a new baby. The only document you need to get started is the official marriage certificate. There’s no special registration or steps. Simply notifiy all the organisations where you hold an account, identification or a record.
