Thanks again everyone. I'm really stoked for the name change to go through, but already dreading all the work and expense of changing all of my identification/etc. Trying to compose a list of what all will need changing, let me know if any of you have other ideas I'm forgetting that should be added to the list:
- Driver's license
- SIN card
- Birth certificate
- Passport
- Provincial health card
- Bank account/debit/credit/mortgage
- Insurance (car and home)
- Car registration
- Payroll at work/health insurance
- Paperwork at my children's schools
- Costco membership
- Store cards: grocery store/video store/etc.
- Library card (already done, including it here for those who are making their own list)
- Newspaper/magazine subscriptions (don't have any, including for others)
Also, any thoughts on what order these have to be done in? I'm thinking DL first, then BC, since everything else will likely need those two forms of ID to make the change. And probably bank before payroll, etc.
But if anyone has ideas about other things I'm forgetting that'll need to be changed, or other recommendations for what should be changed before something else (such as the examples of bank before payroll), please feel free to let me know. Hopefully it'll help anyone else who's at the same stage.
