What Forms You'll Get

Real government forms, pre-filled with your information — not generic templates.

Once you have the federal forms, use them as supporting documents when updating your name with your bank, credit cards, voter registration, and the post office.

Your Privacy is Protected

Your Social Security number never leaves your device. When you enter your SSN, it stays in your browser and is filled into your PDF forms locally — never sent to our servers, never stored anywhere on our side.

Your other form data — name, address, date of birth — is encrypted at rest in our database and used only to fill out your forms. You can delete your account and all your data anytime from your account settings, and we automatically remove inactive sessions after 30 days.

You sign in with a magic link emailed to you (no password to remember and no password for us to leak). No marketing emails, no upsells, no data resale.

Common Questions

Is NewLastName really free?

Yes. We fill out your Social Security, passport, DMV, IRS, and court petition forms for free. No hidden fees, no credit card required.

Is my personal information safe?

Your Social Security number never leaves your device. We fill in your SSN directly in your browser — it is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. The rest of your information is stored in an encrypted session that you can delete at any time.

Do I need a lawyer to change my name?

For most name changes — after marriage, after divorce, or by personal choice — you do not need a lawyer. The paperwork is straightforward, and NewLastName fills it out for you. If your situation is more complex, we will let you know and can connect you with a licensed attorney in your state.

What states do you cover?

NewLastName generates federal forms (Social Security, passport, IRS) for everyone in the United States. For state-specific forms like court petitions and DMV name changes, we currently have full coverage for California, with Texas and additional states being added regularly.

How long does the whole process take?

Filling out your forms on NewLastName takes about 10-15 minutes. Government processing times vary: Social Security updates in about 2 weeks, a new passport takes 6-8 weeks, and court-ordered name changes typically take 4-12 weeks depending on your state.

What forms will I get?

That depends on your situation and state, but most users get: a Social Security application (SS-5), a passport renewal or application (DS-82 or DS-11), an IRS address update (Form 8822), state court petition forms if needed, and a notification letter template for banks, employers, and insurance companies. All filled out with your information, ready to print and sign.
