Frequently Asked Questions

Is NewLastName really free?

Yes. We fill out your Social Security, passport, IRS, and other federal forms for free. You download them, print them, and file them yourself. No hidden fees, no credit card required.

Is my personal information safe?

Your most sensitive information — like your Social Security number — never leaves your device. It's filled into your forms right in your browser and never sent to our servers.

What types of name changes do you cover?

All five: marriage, divorce, court-ordered adult name changes, minor (child) name changes, and gender identity name changes. Most services only cover marriage — we cover everything.

How long does a name change take?

It depends on your situation. A marriage name change can have your Social Security card updated in 2-4 weeks. A court-ordered name change takes 4-12 weeks depending on your state.

What forms does NewLastName fill out?

We fill out the actual government forms: SS-5 (Social Security), DS-82 and DS-11 (Passport), Form 8822 (IRS), and state-specific court petition forms. You answer questions once, and we fill everything out.

Do I need a lawyer to change my name?

For the vast majority of name changes, no. We walk you through the entire process. If your situation involves a custody dispute, immigration, or criminal record, we recommend consulting an attorney.
