We think changing your name should be the easy part
Changing your name after marriage or divorce is one of the most universally hated pieces of life admin in the country. NameWright exists to fix that.
The paid incumbents in this space have been selling essentially the same thing for over 15 years (a static checklist and some pre-filled PDFs) with dated interfaces and recurring complaints about outdated instructions and slow support. Meanwhile the free guides are generic, never pre-fill anything, and don't enforce the ordering rules that actually get you turned away at the DMV.
We built NameWrightto be the modern answer: a state-aware, correctly-sequenced product with a live progress tracker and accurate, maintained instructions. It knows that Social Security comes first, that the DMV needs 24–48 hours to sync, and exactly which passport form applies to you, so you don't have to.
NameWright is built by Handler Labs LLC.
