I just got married and am wanting to do a name change. I want to change my middle name to my maiden name. I didn't know if this is possible with just a copy of your marriage license. Also, when I changed back to my maiden name from my last married name, I went to Secretary of State first, then Social Security. This was easy, though, as I was restoring my name to match my birth certificate. Some online websites are suggesting that you go to SS first, then Sec of State in order to do the maiden name change.

My step Daughter in Law just changed hers last month and she went to Social Security first, then Secretary of State. She had no trouble changing it and it was also suggested to her she go in that order. It's been about 5 years since I changed mine but I am pretty sure I went in the same order.
Congratulations!

I was always told to do SS first and then SoS. Then go down the list from there - bank, accounts, etc. That's what I did both times.

SoS now verifies that the name you are getting your license under matches the name on your soc card, so definitely hit SS first!
And do you think people outside of Michigan are wondering what the heck the Secretary of State has to do with any of this? LOL

My daughter followed the same steps as above when she got married. She had to go to the Soc. Sec. office and then the Secretary of State. This was about 6 months ago. Good luck with the lines at the S of S office.

Thanks for all the feedback. I will hit the social security office today and then the Secretary of State.
Barbara, the Michigan Secretary of State handles all our car licensing and such. It is our version of the DMV.
