How to change your Legal Name in Georgia?

Georgia allows people to change their names on their marriage license application forms. While the forms differ by locality, you can generally just fill in your new name and list your former name on the form. A county clerk will issue a license after the normal Georgia marriage license process is completed.  It is also required that you make the necessary plans to visit your local Social Security Administration, Bank, DMV, and other agencies.

 

Be sure to provide these legal forms of identification to all governing agencies in which you plan on changing your legal name: Marriage certificate, driver's license, state-issued non-driver's ID card, or U.S. passport.
