Unlike changing names from marriage, reverting to your former name without being divorced can be complicated. It is possible but you may need to be persistent.
Having a court-issued name change order is the simplest way to change names. In some states the divorce decree is recognized as your proof of name change. Simply attach to our notifications and send!
The SSA allows you to revert to your prior name after divorce, even if you didn’t get a name change order from the court. Attend any SSA location in person, wait 2 days then get updated photo ID from your state DMV. We help you take care of all other companies.
