Where have I forgotten to change my name?

Recently married. Been changing my name promptly as I see too many people at work who drag their feet and have different things registered in different names and it causes them problems. What have I forgotten? I have done:

  • doctors
  • bank
  • mortgage
  • land registry
  • driving licence
  • vehicle logbook
  • HMRC
  • UK EHIC
  • Passport
  • Work
  • Phone Company
  • Energy Company
  • Council Tax
  • Electoral Roll

Looking at this I can see I have forgotten the dentist and my gym.

Anything glaringly obvious I have missed?

i Tired 3 times to update my name with my mortgage but they kept updating a current account I closed 7 years ago instead. So it’s still in my maiden name.

Also land register??? Do we need to update that? I have been married 6 years and first I have heard of it.

Gmail.
Any email accounts.

@Browsing2023 form AP1 to update the land registry of a change of name…otherwise it can be a PITA when you come to sell and your ID is a different name to the name on the LR. It’s relatively straightforward

@SerenityNowInsanityLater i actually have a new gmail. So many service users at work have a different name to their email address and it drives me insane so I actually reserved myself one under my new name 6 months before we got married!

This is why I haven't changed my name. It fills me with dread to do this much admin.

GameOfJones · 24/05/2024 14:54

For your pension company/companies?

PeppermintParty · 24/05/2024 14:57

Check your bank statement. Anything you pay out of there needs to be changed. Also every time yo log in to anything, online.

Grrrpredictivetex · 24/05/2024 15:54

Oooh I need this.

Grrrpredictivetex · 24/05/2024 15:57

I'm trying to work out in which order to do it, if I change bank details then bills may not be paid. Such a pita.

I did the same. Set up an auto forward from the old account to the new one and then you only need to monitor one and won't miss anything.

PayPal? Any loyalty cards / memberships ? (Boots, supermarkets, etc)

Isitisit · 24/05/2024 16:14

@Ilovegoldies Same 😂 I feel tired just looking at that list!

bananasandwish · 24/05/2024 17:03

Union, Library. PayPal was the thing I couldn't seem to change. I gave up, it's still in my old name 13 years later.
