    I thought it was going to be hell, but the only awful part was waiting at the Social Security office (really - 30 minutes before you call another number!?!?). Even the DMV only took 15 minutes from start to finish.

    So, now I have my new social security card, driver's license, bank card, credit cards, insurance cards, work updates, and I'm doing my passport in December (after the honeymoon to Jamaica).

    I think that just about covers all the bases. Now I just need to get accustomed to signing my new name. On the plus side, my signature is much more legible, since I actually have to pay attention so I get it right!

    That's fantastic! I'm having trouble figuring out how to "create" a new signature.

    @bakerella: i will have no trouble with this, as my current signature looks like a cross between a drunk toddler and a dermatologist. I probably don't even need to change it really.

    My new signature looks like a 3 yr olds!!! It's slowly getting better but its so hard after doing my old signature for so long.

    Overall my name change went pretty smooth. I'm 90% done now. Just have to change a couple store club cards and get a new passport.

    Argh, the dreaded passport change!  I just finally got the paperwork from my mortgage to get that changed over.

    Lol - the signature - I'm going from 11 letters first/middle/last to 9 in the last alone... My hand and brain have issues continuing past the first 3 of the last name as that's all I'm used too... Doesn't help that the initial is the same... my brain has issues with this... haha

    @KLP2010: Haha I figured out how to write the "H" at the beginning of my new last name very similarly to the way I wrote the first letter of my old last name. Then I just squiggle like I did before since both have the same amount of letters.

    Glad you didn't have trouble changing your name, you got lucky! It was pretty easy for me to change my signature... I always just do "first innitial and then scribble, and second innitial and scribble" so I only had to change on letter. And, after 7ish months of being married, I'm finally used to it!

    I practiced on our honeymoon and DH vetoed everything I did! I didn't know you had to put "thought" and artistry into a stupid signature! Now I'm terrified to change my name! LOL!

    I can not figure out how to do a cursive capital G. What a ridiculous looking letter. This has been the hardest part of the name change for me by far.
