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.

Mumsnet !

@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.

TigerRag · 24/05/2024 16:11

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.
