MORE ABOUT MissNowMrs.com
Though it is clearly your choice whether or not to change your last name after marriage, there are several reasons to make the change, most involving tradition or just simple convenience.
In the past, woman changed their name after marriage simply because it was a traditional and socially accepted practice. Even today, most people will assume that you have changed your name and will start addressing you by Mrs. [Husband's Last Name], regardless of whether you have decided to legally change your name or not.
Many women agree that having the same last name as their husband is not only a symbol of their unity together. and does not make them any less "who they are", but actually helps them to solidify their seperate personalities into the identy of the new family unit they are creating iby marriage.
On a more practical note, when you have children together, having the same name simplifies many things; such as insurances, invitations, traveling, personalization, and dealing with schools, doctors, and other parents.
The name change process can be involved, as there are so many legal documents that each depend on one another for verification. For example, the Transportation Safety Administration requires that the name on your airline ticket, must match exactly, the name on your government issued identification (usually driver's license) and passport. Honeymoon travel is one reason to take these requirements seriously and start the name change process well in advance.
MissNowMrs.com supplies and auto-completes a bride's Social Security, IRS 8822, U.S. Passport, USPS, State Voter Registration & State Driver’s License forms as well as name-change notification letters for their banks, credit cards, mortgage providers, utilities, medical provider, insurance companies, professional license boards & investment companies.

How to Be Sure That Your Honeymoon Gets Off the Ground (or On the Sea!)
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative of the Department of Homeland Security is solidly in force as of January 2009, and bottom line, it’s important to have a passport for honeymoon travel. The rules are very detailed and there are exceptions to the rule allowing the use of other documents in combination, but ultimately it’s just easier to have a passport. Our quick link this month is for “Rush My Passport”. “Rush My Passport is a licensed passport hand courier with the U.S. Passport Agency. This license allows them to have your U.S. passport processed by the U.S. Passport Agency in as quickly as 24 hours. They are frequently used by government and business officials and have been praised by Forbes, CNN, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. If the nation’s top business and government travelers rely on them, you should be able to, as well.
Here is the link to their site:
IMPORTANT:
Please note that there are also regulations regarding that the name on your airline tickets matches the name on your “Government issued ID”. We recommend that for a trip as important as your honeymoon you should rely on the experience and advice of a reliable travel agency and save the “do it yourself” travel planning for a less stressful and less important trip.
The following is the link to the website of the Department of Homeland Security “travel Page”.
Check this page for information specific to your situation.
Meanwhile – get your passport, and if you need it in a hurry you can count on Rush My Passport to get it to you on time!!
