    Hi Lana, I legally changed my name today, took about an hour and $244.00. My name is officially Sophie. Now all I have to do is figure out how to change it on here, I've tried but with no success.

    Sophie, go to the section marked Forum news, issues and help! Go to the closed thread marked name change by Di and follow the instructions! Piece of cake but you may have to add to the name to clarify which Sophie is you! Best wishes Hugs Lana Mae

    OK, great day but discovered I am a block head! I called the local Social Security office after getting the number off their door! They can do my name change by mail! They are doing with the form SS-5 and the court order only, as the court order has both names on it! Mailed it next day delivery via UPS! It should not be long now! LOL Hugs Lana Mae

    Those are great news Lana.
    Now I'm stuck with my name and gender changed because courts are just receiving paperwork but mine are not considered "essential" so judge doesn't read them....

    Lana Mae,

    Remember to contact them again and make sure they filled out the corresponding forms to change your name with the IRS, Medicare/Medicaid, and any other Federal agency that relies on the Social Security identification for ID info. I had to return later to get that done and it should have been done the first time around. They forgot to do it!

    Congrats,

    Allie

    When I did my name/gender change I was told at the SSA that Medicare would automatically update. It does not. It took me three trips and several months before Medicare got changed. The third trip I insisted on talking to a person who knew how to do it. Of course, that was several years ago and things change.

    DL and SSA are just the tip of the iceberg. Every company, organization, data base of any kind that you deal with will have their own rules and procedures for changing your name.

    Also, it is important to recall any and all accounts, loans, memberships, etc. and change them too. Your credit history will get messed up when the same SS number is attached to different names. I found this out the hard way when getting preapproved for a home mortgage.

    Thanks, Jeri Ann! I know that this is just the start! I have thought about the credit reporting agencies and letting them know as well as so many more! Since I was able to proceed with Social Security, it just feels like I can get started with the rest! Hugs Lana Mae

    Thanks Allie, I am working on a list for address change for when I find a house to buy. I am up to 28. The lists are very similar with a few exceptions like USPS. They don't need your name but they do need your address to forward mail.

    Believe it or not, my court order that was done a long time ago is back in the court that issued it. After waiting forever, the State Department of Vital Statistics denied my request to amend my Birth Certificate because they said the wording was not sufficient. It has been sufficient in every other case. Now I am waiting for the amended court order so that I can try again with the state.

    This mess goes on and on.

    Well, after reading the problem Jeri Ann has, Lana Mae in my case I can expect whatever because I'm not born in the Dtates and will have to amend certification of naturalization.
    I was thinking, after watching Disclosure, the TV documentary about we, trans people, on the movies, that we had been for so long in the history of the humanity but always were seen as a joke and now that they are seeing we're serious we surprise them and many don't have idea what to do or how react so made mistakes... so we have to keep being more visible and, I hope, all would proceed with the name and gender marker change so yo open the road for the ones behind us....

    My friend Barbara is from Monterey and she had to go back there to change her birth certificate. She used her new Mexican birth certificate to get a Mexican passport. When she gets her US citizenship in a few years then she can apply for a US passport.

    Update again! At work, my fellow employees on 2nd shift, have started calling me Lana or Lana Mae all of the time! A few of the residents have also! I went into work on my day off without a bra! Girl, did I hear it! "Your nipples are showing!" "Bet you aren't wearing a bra!" Then they felt for one! Then they said, "if you want to be a girl then you need to wear your bra!" I guess they are right! I have one on today! Now the good news: I got my Social Security card in the mail!!!! Not my Nursing License yet but should be here soon! Hugs Lana Mae

    That slippery slope we once discussed seems to be leveling out. Congratulations.

    Lana Mae, that is wonderful news. You’ve just past another major milepost on your journey. You are proving that North Carolina’s innate disapproval of alt lifestyles is slowly changing. Clearly not an easy path, but a path nevertheless.

    Congratulations,
    Rhonda

    I was blown away how fast my court order for the name change was processed. I submitted it in person on July 13, and received the signed court order change in the mail 9 days later on July 22. My records have been sealed upon my request and I don't need to submit any announcement to the local newspaper as required by law in normal cases. The same night a sent the request to my endo to sign the letter that he treated me (hormones in my case), and my gender is now female. The letter was ready today the same day and I can pick it up tomorrow. In 10 days, I changed the name through the court and changed my gender marker!!!

    I am scheduling appointment to the DVM to change my driver's license and the vehicle title at the same time. Once I get the license, I plan to apply for US passport and Social Security, Med insurance, and financial institutions in that order.
