If you hold a checking or savings account with Arvest Bank you should update your account information as soon as possible after your name change. You’ll experience issues when cashing checks in a name that is different from your account, so make your Arvest Bank account a priority.
Financial institutions such as Arvest Bank have a higher standard of proof to document your name change. That’s because they hold your funds and can allow access to credit. Generally, all banks ask for both your proof of name change (eg: marriage certificate or court order) as well as an updated government photo ID. That means you should update the SSA first, followed by your state DMV and then your Arvest Bank account. We provide the SSA name change form and the form for your state DMV if they have one.
