Depends on your situation. Are you changing name due to a marriage or divorce. If it is marriage. Take marriage Certificate to the Social Security Administration to have name changed. If it is due to a divorce and within the divorce papers you asked for name to be changed back to maiden name carry those divorce papers to Social Security....if you did not request that in the divorce papers then you need the assistance of an attorney....for any other reason for name change it will need to be done through the court system and Any papers that the court issues you granting your request for a name change needs to be carried to the Social Security Department 1st, then the drivers license division etc.

The worst country to have your name changed legally (other than marriage) is Germany, because the bureaucrats decide whether or not your wish is justified. The best countries are former British colonies like Australia, New Zealand and Canada, because the procedure under English Common Law is much easier than anywhere else.

You have to fill out an application for name change and file it in court in the county where you live. Start by calling the county courthouse and they can give you the information where to get the application, the procedure, and the fees.

You go to the probate court in the county you live in. A judge will sign off on the paperwork, and you will receive a certified name change paper.
