Getting married is often an exciting whirlwind. But after your honeymoon, it's time to get back to work. If you choose to adopt your spouse's last name, you will need to go through the process of changing your name on all your legal records. The best place to start is with your Social Security card. Once you have a Social Security card with your new name, it will be easier for you to prove your identity at the driver's license bureau. Then, once you have these critical identity documents, you can change bank records, get a job, rent an apartment, or apply for a mortgage. | Getting married is often an exciting whirlwind.
