How Datafied Can Help This Wedding Season
Summer is officially here and that means its wedding season! If you’re one of the lucky ones getting married in the upcoming months, congratulations!
While marriage is about love, there is also a legal aspect to the whole process. Although this is much less romantic than the notion of promising to love and cherish someone ‘til death do you part, this cannot be ignored. The process of securing a marriage license and changing your names is not as simple as you might wish. There are documents required before and after, and if you don’t have a handle on what needs to be done it can add on to the stress you’re already feeling leading up to your perfect wedding day.
So, what documents do you need and why? Datafied is here with a rundown…
Birth Certificate
When you get married, you will need to apply for a marriage license in advance. In order to do so, both you and your fiancé will need to go to the County Clerk together to apply for one. Some states just need you to present a driver’s license to verify your identity, but others require a certified copy of your birth certificate. If you don’t know where yours is leading up to the wedding, you better get looking!
Divorce Decree
For those who were married previously, you will also need to present your official divorce decree when applying for a marriage license this time around. The courts need to know that your previous marriage has legally ended before they can grant you a new marriage license. Although this document was probably received during an emotional and potentially tumultuous time in your life, if you aren’t sure where it is, you need to locate it.
Marriage License
Once married, many women choose to change their names and take their husband’s surname. In order to do this at the DMV and Social Security Office, you will need to present your marriage license. However, if you’re wedding party got a bit sloppy after the wedding and this document was misplaced, it’s not too late to have Datafied help you track it down. This document is extremely important and you should be sure to keep a close eye on it after your wedding.
