No, all that is needed is to have the necessary documents changed, those being driver license, Social Security information, and so forth. The first step should be changing the name on your Social Security record, which is a simple procedure. Social Security Online, http://www.ssa.gov

How do you change your name back to maiden name in Miami Florida?

To change your name back to your maiden name in Miami, Florida, you will need to file a petition for a name change with the family court. You'll have to provide documentation such as your marriage certificate and ID. Once the court approves your petition, you can update your name on legal documents and identification. It is advisable to consult with an attorney for guidance through the process.


i have been divorced for 10 years and want to go back to my maiden name. as it's on my birth certificate, and is still me, can i just resume using my maiden name as i am legally divorced, so in that case, i am now who i was before the marriage.?

Since it is the name on your birth certificate (most likely) you do not need to legally change anything. You just need to contact any business or utility that has your last name as your married name and make them aware of the change if you would not like to get mail or other documents with the old name. I live in MD (maybe the laws are different here) and I changed back to my maiden name (which is on my birth certificate) after being divorced for 20 years. Since I didn't choose to change back when I got the divorce, I had to file a petition for change of name with the county court. It took 3 months and cost about $125.00. Then I was able to change my name on my driver's license, social security card and bank account, etc.


What was Lois GLady leppard's maiden name?

Lois's maiden name is Leppard, when she divorced many years ago and went back to her maiden name.


me and my wife recently married on june 21, 2009. her son has her maiden name because the father is not on the birth certificate. do we need to file a petition to change his name or can we just change it without having to go to court?

You would need to petition the court for the name change to make it official. You will need that document for the social security office and schools to make sure the name change is done correctly.
