 TITLE: Getting Married? Here’s How It Affects Your Credit CONTENT: Do I Get a New Credit Report if I Change My Name?\n-------------------------------------------------\nYou will not automatically get a new credit report if you change your name after marriage. Your new name will be added to your existing credit report once you make the change with each creditor. That means alerting each credit card company, lender and bank that you have financial accounts about the change. Your new last name will also appear on the credit report when you use it to apply for credit. END
