How it works

One plan. The right order. Done.

No more open tabs, conflicting blog posts, or wasted DMV trips. Here's how NameWright gets you from “where do I start?” to finished.

How it works

From “where do I even start?” to done

Three simple steps replace a dozen confusing government websites.

Marriage or divorce, your state, your passport situation, and which accounts you hold. Takes about 90 seconds, no account required.

We generate a correctly-sequenced checklist and pre-fill every government form: SS-5, your state DMV application, and the right passport form.

Follow the playbook step by step. The tracker greys out anything that isn't unblocked yet, so you never make a wasted trip.

The order that trips everyone up

Social Security first, then a mandatory wait, then the DMV. Skip the wait and you'll be sent home. NameWright bakes the timing right into your plan.

What's inside

A modern, state-aware product that enforces the correct order, not a static PDF checklist.

SS-5, your state DMV application, and the correct passport form, filled from your answers, ready to print and sign.

Your state's exact document list, marriage-certificate ordering link, DMV requirements, and voter deadline: not generic advice.

The DMV step stays locked until Social Security is done and 48 hours have passed. You always know what's unblocked next.

DS-82, DS-11, or DS-5504? We choose the right one based on your passport's age and how it was issued.

Ready-to-send name-change letters for your bank, employer, insurer, and more, with a tracked master list.

We review agency forms, fees, and instructions every quarter: the fix for the “outdated instructions” problem.
