What are my Divorce Name Change Options?
So you’ve just come though a divorce and the only thing he left you with is a name you don’t want.
We’re here to help you understand the legalities and process to ditch his name and reclaim your former glory!
The good news is you only need your Birth Certificate and either your Certificate of Marriage or Decree Absolute (Certificate of Divorce) to start changing your name back. You will not need any other legal documentation. You can revert to your maiden name on your driving licence, passport, bank records and on all your accounts straight away.
If you simply took your husband's name when you were married by way of showing your marriage certificate, you have really just assumed his name. Legally you can still be known by your prior name. You should only need to show your marriage certificate and birth certificate which should show a clear link between your names. Not all companies are aware of this so you may need to call back and speak to someone else if you initially run into obstacles.
Think about all the accounts you have under your married name - there are probably about 20 or so. Utilities, bank accounts, company pension, the list goes on. That’s where we come in - we create a personalised name change request for each of your nominated companies. If any companies need a special form to be completed we also provide it for you!
