If you hold a checking or savings account with Meritus 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 Meritus Bank account a priority. There are no forms to complete in advance, but you will need to update the SSA and get a photo ID in your new name first.
Get ready to send forms, letters and emails
Before you start updating your accounts, consider all the different places where you need to change names. There could be anywhere from 10 to over 40 different places. Each one has a different process too. Like most banks, Meritus Bank requires you to visit in person. The SSA has a special form. What about your state DMV? Do they also have a form?
