I got my name changed today.  I must say as long as you have all the paperwork in order it's a rather uneventful process.  Waiting at the DMV is still a pain in the ass though.

Way cool. Maddie.  And the DMV can be a pain, because they are a government agency.

Hi Maddie Secutura

Congratulations on getting your name changed.  As you have gathered already (DMV) you still have to change all of your other documents which can be a pain :)

Kind regards
Sarah B

Congratulations, Maddie! :eusa_dance:

I had thought changing mine would be no big deal - a minor step in the transition process.  But when I got papers saying the GUMMINT said I was Katherine I realized it is a big deal.  How can you argue with the gummint? :)

I waited at the DMV for a long time and finally got my new license.  They couldn't take the "M" off of it but whatever.  I already have a story to explain why its there should anyone ask. 

"Apparently they accidentally put M instead of F and hell if I'm going to wait in line at the DMV to get it changed."

Congratulations :) Getting all my ID and other records updated after my court order came through was the part I hated most. Then again I hate anytime I have to deal with a government agency, especially when I confused the hell out of them about what gender to refer to me as.
