First, my disclaimer -- I did search to see if I could find this anywhere. I did not find it. I'm not saying it's not there.
I'm starting the process to change my name on everything. Pretty much everything wants a copy of the court order for name change (e.g. Social Security, driver's license, etc.) It's not clear to me if they need a certified copy or if a photocopy will do. If I need a bazillion certified copies, then I want to ask the court for them up front. I'm sure lots of people in this forum have direct experience in this matter and I'd appreciate hearing from them.
I understand that many things require me to have the Social Security changed first (banks, passport, etc.) I'm just trying to save a step (and maybe some costs) if all these folks need certified copies.
Thanks
