 TITLE: Marriage Name Change Checklist CONTENT: Order a New Social Security Card\n--------------------------------\nOnce you have your marriage certificate in hand, it's time to update your Social Security card. You can go in person to a Social Security Administration office to file the appropriate paperwork; just be sure to call ahead to make an appointment, as walk-in services may be limited. Alternatively, you can mail your documents to your local Social Security office. (The change can't be done online, unfortunately.)\nThe good news is that getting a new card is free. You'll just need to provide your completed application and updated ID, along with your marriage certificate. Just bear in mind that only original documents or copies certified by the issuing agency will be accepted. END
